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 superstar Keith Whitley, who died 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.
The
song won the CMA's Song of the Year award in 1996 and a BMI Most-Performed Song
award in 1997. It also received two
Grammy Awards for Best Male Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Song in
the 38th Grammy Awards. The single
reached No. 14 on the Country Singles chart in 1995. -Wikipedia
I don't think it's possible to make a more beautiful
harmony or pack so much talent into such a small space as even such a historic venue.
