Biography

Celebrating With Friends features Vince Gill, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Ray Benson, Dale Watson and more, with a special tribute written and performed by Garrison Keillor

When it comes to the fiddle, Johnny Gimble is the go-to talent when music needs a warm breeze of Texas authenticity. His credits read like the roster of the Country Music Hall of Fame: Bob Wills, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, George Strait. Now many of those friends have returned to the studio to record with him again, but this time the sideman is in the spotlight. Anchored by producer Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel, this all-new record is a celebration of a man who is woven into the fabric of country music history. His friends had a great time playing and singing these songs. You will too.
