Vince Gill is a country legend who knows how to sing and play a hit song. In this performance, he delivers his song 'Let's Do Something.' Vince rocks with his backing band in a giant jam session filled with country guitar licks.

Vince Gill is dressed in a gray pinstriped suit, and his long flowing hair is a classic style from the 80s. He plays an old Fender telecaster on a fantastic solo break in the song while backed by a full band featuring another guitar, a bass, a piano, and a drum set.

Vince sings the lyrics, 'Let's do something. Sneak out your bedroom window, girl, and we'll be gone. Let's do something. Oh, baby, let's do something, even if it's wrong.' The party vibe of the lyrics is matched by the uptempo beat.

Vince's career spans the decades. He was the original frontman for the country-rock band 'Pure Prairie League' in the 1970s. His solo career began in 1983, and Vince has recorded more than 20 studio albums while charting 40 singles on the Billboard charts.

26 million albums later, Vince still performs and writes. He has garnered 18 CMA Awards, including Entertainer of the Year twice. Vince even joined 'The Eagles' for their tour, filling in for the late Glenn Frey.

This performance of 'Let's Do Something' ends with an amazing piano solo followed by a slide guitar solo. The band jams out, and Vince is having a great time! He bops around on the guitar while the other musicians rock. It is a great country song!
