Welcome to Biscuits and Jam from Southern Living. I'm Sid Evans, editor-in-chief of Southern Living magazine.

For an artist who's won more awards than just about anyone in the business, he's also known as one of the most humble in the industry.

When I was a kid, I didn't dream about being a star. I dreamed about being a musician.

And I just wanted to be part of the

deal, you know, in any way, shape, or form. And that would have always been enough for me.

Having grown up in Oklahoma City, Vince Gill has a resume that's as acclaimed and diverse as they

come. Inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007, Vince has also made his mark on

bluegrass and even rock and roll, now as a touring member of the Eagles.

He's won nearly half of the 44 Grammys he's been nominated for over his career, and along

with his talented wife, singer-songwriter Amy Grant, their annual run of Christmas shows at Nashville's

Riemann Auditorium is often sold out months in advance. On today's show, Vince talks about how

Christmas at home presents its own challenges. If we don't do those Christmas shows, this will be

maybe the first time in 27 years when I've had a little extra time to go Christmas shopping for the fam.

We'll see. I tour all year long. Amy doesn't tour quite so much, and so she's fired up and

ready to knock out a whole bunch of Christmas shows in December, and I'm ready to go to bed.

Plus, his grandmother's yeast rolls, Vince's touching tribute to the late Merle Haggard, and much more this

week on Biscuits and Jam.

Well, Vince Gill, welcome to Biscuits and Jam.

Thank you.

Good to be here.

You're at the bottom of the barrel if you're getting me down to the V's.

Got all the way the Vs where you found somebody to get on the show.
