Vince Gill’s iconic and beloved song “Go Rest High On That Mountain” celebrates its 30th anniversary with an extended version that includes a new verse. The now RIAA-certified double-platinum single is one of the most significant and enduring songs in country music, having resonated with listeners around the world over the last three decades. In 1996, the song was awarded two Grammys for Best Male Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song, a CMA Award for Song of the Year, and in 1997, received BMI’s Most Performed Song award.
Gill was inspired to write the song following the death of his friend, country singer and at-the-time labelmate Keith Whitley, but it was the death of Gill’s brother Bob in 1993 that compelled him to complete it. However, in 2019, during one of his Christmas at the Ryman performances with wife Amy Grant, Gill performed the song but included a new verse.
“The last thirty years I’ve always felt like something was missing from this song,” Gill explained recently. “With this new third verse, I finally feel like the song is complete.”
In updating the recording, Gill used all the original tracks, adding only his vocals for the new verse that reads, “You’re safely home in the arms of Jesus / Eternal life my brother’s found / The day will come I know I’ll see him / In that sacred place, on that holy ground.”
On Sunday night (Sept 14th), Gill will be joined by Lainey Wilson to perform “Go Rest High On That Mountain” on the 77th Emmy Awards on CBS as part of the In Memoriam segment. A live version of the song will appear on the upcoming Opry 100: Country’s Greatest Songs album, recorded live on The Grand Ole Opry on March 14, 2015.
Gill has just wrapped up his most recent tour, which culminated in five sold-out nights at the historic Ryman Auditorium. His over three-hour, no intermission performances packed houses with his stellar musicianship, humor, storytelling, a talented band line-up, and the reveal of new music. He now rejoins the Eagles as they return to the Sphere in Las Vegas.
Bernie Leadon released his new song “Go On Down To Mobile” today ahead of his highly anticipated solo project, Too Late To Be Cool. “Go On Down To Mobile” is a tune about a man’s complicated love with a girl from Alabama.
“‘Go On Down to Mobile’ is about a clueless guy having a long-distance relationship. She’s down in Mobile, and he’s a ways away. He’s in denial about what she is really like. Something’s going on, and we generally know what it is. He pretends he doesn’t. He has an awakening in his near future. Late in the song the singer admits he’s talking about himself. ‘I’m addicted to you, my dear, wish you’d get out of my head.’ But not yet,” said Leadon.
Leadon wrote all of the songs on the project, with the full album being produced/engineered by 2025 GRAMMY Trustee winner, Glyn Johns. Leaning into his playful personality, Leadon shares his perspective on life’s journey and how he gracefully moves through the chaos.
Leadon is performing at City Winery Nashville this evening as a headliner of Nashville’s AMERICANAFEST. This marks his return to the stage, after a decades long hiatus from the spotlight. Since the announcement of his October 10 album, he is entering a new era of his esteemed music career.
Receiving praise from major media outlets including Rolling Stone, Variety and Parade, Leadon is ready to rock once again. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member teases additional live shows to come, planning to tour next year performing hits from his catalog, Eagles’ favorites, and the new album.

Today, Tedeschi Trucks Band (TTB), the GRAMMY Award-winning band led by the dynamic duo of Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, has released their new album, Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited (LIVE AT LOCKN’), with Leon Russell via Fantasy Records. The long-awaited release of Tedeschi Trucks Band and Leon Russell Present: Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited (LIVE AT LOCKN’) marks the first time the iconic tribute performance has been available anywhere since the original concert 10 years ago. To celebrate today’s release, TTB has also released the official music video for “With A Little Help From My Friends” featuring Tedeschi on vocals along with special guests Chris Robinson, Dave Mason, and Doyle Bramhall II.
“It was a dream experience getting to work with Leon and all of the other amazing artists,” shares Susan Tedeschi.
Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited (LIVE AT LOCKN’) is a vibrant tribute to one of the most iconic live rock collaborations in music history. Originally led by Joe Cocker and legendary keyboardist and bandleader Leon Russell in 1970, Mad Dogs & Englishmen was a raucous, soulful tour that brought together a massive ensemble of musicians. In September 2015, Tedeschi Trucks Band – helmed by guitar virtuoso Derek Trucks and powerhouse vocalist Susan Tedeschi – revived this landmark event, infusing it with their own blend of Southern soul, blues, and rock.
The historic, star-studded tribute concert took place at the Virginia-based LOCKN’ Festival 45 years after the original tour. That night, TTB’s 12-piece ensemble and Russell welcomed original Mad Dogs members, such as Rita Coolidge, Claudia Lennear, and Chris Stainton, along with a diverse group of special guests including Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes, Warren Haynes, Anders Osborne, and Dave Mason. The stage often swelled to over 20 musicians, echoing the original tour’s grand, communal spirit. The setlist included memorable performances of such hits as “The Letter” featuring Tedeschi on lead vocals, “Feelin’ Alright” featuring Mason, who penned the hit, on lead vocals and Osborne on guitar, and “She Came In Through the Bathroom Window” featuring Haynes on lead vocals and guitar and Osborne on guitar as well as “The Weight,” “Delta Lady,” “Space Captain,” “The Ballad of Mad Dogs and Englishmen” and many more. Full track listing for Tedeschi Trucks Band and Leon Russell Present: Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited (LIVE AT LOCKN’) below.
Tedeschi Trucks Band, known for their dynamic interplay and emotional depth, breathe fresh life into these classic songs. More than just nostalgia, TTB and Leon Russell’s Mad Dogs & Englishmen set at LOCKN’ shows how timeless this communal approach to music-making still is – vibrant, necessary, and alive. Mad Dogs & Englishmen Revisited (LIVE AT LOCKN’) serves as the audio companion to TTB’s documentary Learning to Live Together: The Return of Mad Dogs & Englishmen (2021). The film, a unique retelling of the “Mad Dogs and Englishmen” tour as seen through the lens of Tedeschi Trucks Band, blends archival footage with new interviews and performance and rehearsal footage from the LOCKN’ tribute set.
Tedeschi Trucks Band’s expansive North American Live in ’25 Tour, produced by Live Nation, continues tonight (September 12th) in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Following a performance at Ohana Fest later this month, TTB will re-join longtime friends Gov’t Mule on October 11th in Macon, Georgia for their final co-headlining show together, following a five-date run which wrapped earlier this week. TTB remains on the road until October 25th traveling along the Eastern Seaboard. See below for all upcoming tour dates.

As they celebrate 25 years together, Greensky Bluegrass unveil a new take on their beloved song “Windshield,” now featuring longtime collaborator Holly Bowling. Listen to/share the song HERE.
“It’s hard to convey how important Holly is to our band,” says Paul Hoffman. “She fits right in musically, personally and spiritually. I absolutely adore making music with her. During Covid we played a show as a duo, and it was my first experience reconnecting with another musician in a while. We played ‘Windshield,’ and I didn’t even want to play. We’ve done it live a few times since. Most notably last year in the audience at Red Rocks. By far one of the most powerful performance moments of my life.”
“Windshield” is the latest preview from the band’s forthcoming album, XXV, due October 31 via Big Blue Zoo Records/Thirty Tigers—a special anniversary release landing on the exact date of the band’s formation. Pre-order the album HERE.
Ahead of the album, the band has shared re-imagined versions of fan-favorites “Reverend” featuring bluegrass superstar and Grammy-Award winner Billy Strings, “Old Barns” and “Can’t Stop Now” featuring Sam Bush.
Tomorrow, the band will take the stage for their 20th performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, alongside opener Margo Price.
“We’ve called on some dear friends to breathe a touch of new life into some classic Greensky songs for your listening pleasure,” says dobroist Anders Beck. “We’ve reinvented the sounds of some of our (dare I say) ‘hits’ because after a quarter century of Greensky Bluegrass, with plenty of new music on the horizon, we believe it’s worth celebrating what the five of us have created together… and we want you to have a damn good time listening to it.”
Greensky Bluegrass started at an impromptu show in 2000 in Kalamazoo, Michigan and have developed into a marquee live act and staple in the progressive bluegrass space. XXV brings together many friends and collaborators of the band throughout their 25-year run—Sam Bush, Billy Strings, Lindsay Lou, Nathaniel Rateliff, Aoife O’Donovan, Holly Bowling and more. Each of these special guests represent chapters of the band’s continued journey.
The group is on the road for a host of headline and festival dates across North America, continuing their landmark 25th year. Stops include Charlotte, Milwaukee, Miami Beach, Jacksonville and Madison, as well as two special hometown anniversary shows at Wings Event Center in Kalamazoo, MI on October 31 and November 1. See HERE for tickets and additional information.
For over two decades, progressive bluegrass band Greensky Bluegrass—Anders Beck (dobro), Michael Arlen Bont (banjo), Dave Bruzza (guitar), Mike Devol (upright bass), and Paul Hoffman (mandolin)—have become known for their dynamic live performances and extensive touring schedule. With music reflecting their own lives and collective experiences, their songwriting stays true to traditional bluegrass. The band’s die-hard fans travel in droves across the country and pack multiple-night show runs at iconic venues like Red Rocks and The Ryman.
