Underwood’s performance was a journey of vocal mastery.
She started softly, subtly, then crescendoed into a powerful surge of emotion.
Her version of Gill’s 1995 hit was both a refreshing take and a respectful nod to its original essence.
“Go Rest High on That Mountain” is an iconic song about mourning and healing.
Gill began penning it in 1989 after Keith Whitley’s death and finished it after his brother’s passing in 1993.
Gill confided to Rolling Stone Country, “I wasn’t going to record it. I didn’t want to. But producer Tony Brown convinced me.”
Faithfully echoing the song’s essence, Underwood’s rendition was a heartfelt homage to Gill’s work.
The song, honored with two Grammy Awards, has been a source of comfort and solace, and Underwood, with her profound Christian faith, was an ideal messenger for its profound message.
