Did you read that article? Its very educational .. I'll make it easier for your 138 IQ to understand, since I have a 138.5 and all. After being with a Nashville Machine Label for 20+ years, Vince Gill signed with Rounder Records. It's basically known as the FK YOU NASHVILLE! label.
Here's what was said ..
Vince’s longtime band, the
Time Jumpers, has signed with Rounder Records. The 11-member Western swing group formed 14 years ago as a way for musicians to gather and play their favorite songs, and have recently begun working on their debut studio album.
Why would professional musicians NEED a way to play their favorite songs? What could possibly be stopping them?

Kenny Sears says. “We have all been fans of this label for a long time. The fact that they are excited about our project makes us twice as excited: lots of excitement! We’re very proud of this album; it’s the first time we’ve been able to record our own songs in a studio setting.”
The first time they've been able to record their OWN songs? Why?
More... and this one is telling ..
Vince says being with the Time Jumpers reminds him of when he was just beginning his legendary career. “We split up the money after the gig behind the amps, just like the old days,” the Country Music Hall of Fame member tells the
Portland Press Herald. “I like to joke, ‘It’s the only time I play in Nashville where I get paid.’ Every other gig is a benefit. I just love playing music.

He recently
called (modern country music) “mind-numbing.” “For me, [country music] lost its traditional bent pretty severely,” Vince recently lamented to Pittsburgh’s
Post-Gazette. “I would love to hear someone write a song like ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today’ rather than ‘You’re hot. I’m hot. We’re in a truck.'”
‘You’re hot. I’m hot. We’re in a truck.'” < the stuff you listen to.
