“Next Big Thing was a collection of songs that I’m really proud of as a songwriter,” says Gill of the album, which was released on February 11, 2003. “It was also the first record of my own I ever produced, and I was pleased to discover the process was still the same – great musicians, great engineers – all with a common goal, to serve a song. I was honored to have written ‘Someday’ with a dear old friend, Richard Marx, one of the most talented guys I’ve ever known.”

Gill won his 8th Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance, Male for “Next Big Thing,” which was released as the lead single from the album and became a Top 20 country hit. The second single was “Someday,” written by Gill and Marx, which was another Top 40 Billboard country entry.

The album has had 11 million global streams, and Gill wrote or co-wrote all of its 17 songs. He put together a line-up of A-list musicians, working them into a live band in the studio environment. They included such revered musicians as NRBQ guitarist Al Anderson, drummer Chad Cromwell, fiddle player Stuart Duncan, steel guitar player John Hughey, guitarists Mac McAnally and Dean Parks, piano-player Pete Wasner, bassist Willie Weeks, slide guitarist Tom Britt, harmonica/accordion player Jim Hoke and saxophonists Jim Horn and Kirk Whalum.

The vocalists who guested on the record were every bit as stellar, including Gill’s wife Amy Grant, Emmylou Harris, Lee Ann Womack, Bekka Bramlett, Dawn Sears, Leslie Satcher, and Michael McDonald.
