In the light of the spinoff about country players on the cover... I got to thinking about it.
I personally don't care who's on the cover - I buy GP every month anyway, and have for 30+ years!
But there's something else to think about - being on the cover of GP might seriously help out someone's career. I remember the GP cover story - "who is Eric Johnson, and why is he on our cover?" I immediately ran out and bought "Tones" and have been a fan ever since!
If it is true that GP has not had a country player on the cover for many years, maybe it would be a good thing - just to help out some up-and-coming player in one of THE most venerable guitar styles.
So who would it be? Vince Gill certainly deserves to be, or maybe Steve Wariner, Brad Paisley or Steve Hiland. All of whom have been covered in the pages, of course.
