Vince
Gill - Next Big Thing
Artist Profile and Website
Review by Jim Weaver
 One
thing that's kind of obvious to me about Vince Gill, besides the
fact that he's a great singer, songwriter, guitar player and seams to be
an all around neat dude, is he still has that Oklahoma boyish
charm and sense of humor that makes him one of the most likeable country
stars ever. Vince's new CD titled Next Big Thing
absolutely shines with vocals, tempo and just great country songs. I've
always been a fan but setting that aside for a moment and speaking as a
radio DJ for over 17 years (most of it in country radio) I truly believe
this CD is capable of producing at least 3 or 4 Top 5 hits for Vince and
of those 2 or 3 #1's. As I listened to the CD last night trying to put
my thoughts together I suddenly realized there's not a stinker on
it... not one! I sure would hate to try and pick the
next single after the title track finishes it's run up the charts,
that's going to be a tough choice. Whoever makes that choice has some
good news though, they probably won't make a bad one. Next Big
Thing is in stores now. Just in case you're not catching my
drift here...
Rating: BUY IT!

Review:
Watch out! This site could blow you out of your office chair, but not
right away... it's kinda sneaky. When you first bring up the site, which
looks great by the way, there's no sound, no huge FLASH file, loads
quickly and quietly, then you click on the picture on the right that has
the Next Big Thing logo on it and if you have a broadband
connection you better have those speakers turned down or just be
prepared to have everyone near you jammin to "Next Big
Thing"! It actually startled me a little. This page is where
the FLASH begins by the way, so if you don't have broadband access they
do give you the option at the bottom of the page to skip the intro and
turn off the music but trust me for you broadbanders you won't 
be able to turn it off fast enough... so just be warned... Singing
Site Alert! Other than that I really have no complaints, it's a very
well designed site with tons of information for the fans to absorb and
download. Even those that are not in the fan club. The only thing
holding me back from giving Vince's site a rating of great is the
"Singing Site Surprise".
Rating:
Pretty Darn Good.
