Wall Guitar (Since You Said Goodbye) [Single]

Banjoists Alison Brown and Steve Martin tapped Vince Gill for “Wall Guitar (Since You Said Goodbye),” their latest collaboration. What began as a gentle clawhammer banjo melody evolved into a wistful song about unrequited love, shimmering with melodicism and poetic lyrics.

The song took shape organically, with Brown building on Martin’s melodic idea. With his warm, tenor voice and deep roots in acoustic music, Vince Gill was the obvious vocal pick for the song. Martin, Brown and Gill have long histories with each other and all of them have recorded together on previous projects. He brought the perfect mix of reflection and emotional range to the song. 

Performances from some of Music Row’s most respected players round out the track: Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Rob Burger (accordion, piano), Andrea Zonn (harmony vocals), Garry West (bass) and Jordan Perlson (percussion).
