My second selection for today's "Music Interlude" is a great song by Vince Gill, accompanied by Alison Kraus and Ricky Scaggs, titled "Go Rest High On That Mountain". It was a live Broadcast at the "Grand Old Opry" at Carnegie Hall!
About "Go Rest High On That Mountain".
"Go Rest High on That Mountain" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Vince Gill. It was released in August 1995 as the sixth single from his album When Love Finds You. It is a eulogic ballad. Gill began writing the song following the death of country music singer Keith Whitley in 1989. Gill did not finish the song until a few years later following the death of his older brother Bob of a heart attack in 1993. Ricky Skaggs and Patty Loveless both sang background vocals on the record
"Go Rest High on That Mountain" is a tribute to Vince Gill's step brother who has died recently before the song was composed. It is composed in the key of D major with a slow tempo, largely following the chord pattern D-G-D-A-D.[2]
Gill added a third verse in December 2019 saying “Yeah, it doesn’t make much sense, does it?” he told People. “Yeah, ‘Leave it alone, you idiot!’ That should be my mantra. But in my heart, I think this makes it better.
Very moving song... I hope you like it!
