Vince Gill~ "Go Rest High on that Mountain" with Allison Krauss and Ricky Scaggs
Go Rest High on That Mountain" is a country song written and recorded by Vince Gill.
It was released in August 1995 as a single from his 1994 album When Love Finds You.
It is a eulogistic 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, in 1993, of a heart attack.
What an inspirational song.
