Rhonda Vincent "Good Thing Going"
Published by Ryan Whirty on Mar 05, 2008
Rhonda Vincent is quite simply the preeminent female bluegrass artist on the scene today, Alison Krauss notwithstanding. The winner of an unprecedented seven straight Female Vocalist of the Year Awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association, Vincent comes at the bluegrass genre with fresh energy, creativity, and artistry, mixing soulful ballads and uptempo foot-stompers with elements of swing and pop country. The result is "Good Thing Going," a rich, intimate album that reflects her growing prowess as a songwriter, especially with the lead track, "I'm Leaving," and the autobiographical title cut. With the album, Vincent proves that she has risen to legendary status in the bluegrass world, someone whose influence will be felt for generations to come.
