MCA Records and Vince Gill extend one of country music’s most enduring creative partnerships with a lifetime recording agreement that reflects decades of shared history. The announcement arrives as a statement of trust, longevity, and artistic momentum, rooted in a relationship that continues to move forward with purpose and care.
As part of the agreement, Gill is rolling out a yearlong EP series titled ‘50 Years From Home,’ delivering new music every month. Each release blends fresh material with carefully chosen catalog recordings that deepen the emotional throughline of the project. The approach mirrors the way fans have experienced his work for years, personal, thoughtful, and shaped by the songs themselves.
The first installment, ‘50 Years From Home: I Gave You Everything I Had,’ is out now and includes the 2x Platinum classic “Go Rest High on That Mountain.” Placed within this new context, the song carries its familiar weight while opening space around it, letting longtime listeners hear it alongside new reflections and melodies.
Leadership at MCA Records points to creative freedom as the heart of the deal. President and CEO Mike Harris describes the agreement as a continuation of a bond built on mutual respect and belief in Gill’s vision. The numbers underscore that legacy, with billions of streams, tens of millions in certified units, and a catalog that continues to circulate through homes, cars, and concert halls.
There is an unmistakable lift in hearing this body of work unfold piece by piece, songs arriving like handwritten letters rather than bulk mail. It is the sound of a songwriter still reaching for honesty, guided by instinct, experience, and joy.
