As if it's not an honor enough to be named the Country Music Hall of Fame's artist-in-residence, Vince Gill will also get to enjoy some major perks of that gig. Like bringing a few of his favorite collaborators onto the stage to join him for a song or two. That's what other artists have done in the past six years since the program began, inviting guests like Garth Brooks and Alison Krauss to join them. And Gill is kind of the king of collaborating, having won armloads of Grammys for songs done with other artists. So expect the unexpected if you get tickets to Gill's February shows when they go on sale next week. (And here's a hint if you want the best seats. Buy a CMHOF membership for just $25, so you can buy tickets a couple days earlier than everyone else.)
