Chris Young knew he wanted to have someone appear with him on his song “Sober Saturday Night”–he wanted someone who could do what Vince Gill does, so Chris thought–why not just ask Vince? Well, he did, and Vince said yes! Chris fully admits though “the thing with asking Vince Gill to be a part of the song is…really, I just love Vince Gill.” Obviously, the collaboration worked out very well, but pretty much from the beginning, Chris Young knew that Vince “was perfect for that song.”

  Chris Young shares his thought process on asking Vince Gill to be a part of his song “Sober Saturday Night.” (:36)
“The thing with asking Vince Gill to be a part of the song is…really, I just love Vince Gill. (laugh)  I knew I wanted somebody to guest on that for the solo, and then also the harmonies, and I was like ‘who would ask if I could ask anyone’ and it was him. So, I asked him first, and he just happen to say yes…because he’s awesome. He very easily could have said ‘no,’ and he’s got a lot of stuff going on with not only the stuff that he’s producing but also the stuff that he plays on. I feel like he’s cloned himself, he does so much stuff.  So, him saying ‘yes’ to that was was really cool for me, being such a fan of his, and also knowing that he was perfect for that song, and he killed it.”
