Sweet Pea is still releasing music and he has a duet with Lainey Wilson on his newest project too.
Vince Gill released his seven song “Down At The Borderline” EP this past Friday (2/13/26), which is also the fourth installment in his “50 Years From Home” EP series. There’s a simple white guitar for the artwork as the cover for it and it’s actually a 1953 Fender Telecaster that Vince bought for $450 in 1978 from Del City Music in Oklahoma, and it’s been his main guitar ever since.
He said it’s been with him throughout his entire legendary music career, and he wanted to pay some homage to that important piece of his career with the cover of this series.
“It’s real special. I’ve got several other old Fender Telecasters, but that one just suits my hands, suits my ears. Everything about it is kind of a huge part of my entire catalog of playing guitar over all these years.”
Vince recruited Lainey Wilson to sing with him on the title track and the song was actually co-written by Liz Rose about a joint in Thibodaux, Louisiana where “they play the Zydeco and wrestle alligators.”
The song reminds me of 90s Vince music and it’s packed with Cajun influence, making the Louisiana native, Lainey, the perfect person to join him on the song.
Vince said…
“Once I set it in Thibodaux I asked Lainey to come sing on it. She graciously said yes, and she killed it! I didn’t know if she’d be up for that; it’s hard to get somebody when they’re knocking it out of the park like she is, but she did, and I love the sound of our voices together.”
Lainey added that it’s been a “dream come true” to sing a song with Vince.
“Releasing a song with Vince Gill is truly a dream come true. I’ve had the chance to get to know him over the past few years and share the stage together, so being able to finally make music together means the world to me.”
