Rhonda’s got a “Good Thing Going”
Good Thing Going - Rhonda VincentBurlington, MA - On January 8, 2008 Rounder Records will release “Good Thing Going,” the new album from Rhonda Vincent. Since her first release on Rounder, 2000’s “Back Home Again”, Vincent has met with increasing acclaim for her dynamic, infectious take on bluegrass. Her gift for balancing classic bluegrass sounds with subtle contemporary touches is featured throughout “Good Thing Going.” Gleaming with hope, resilience, and gratitude, Vincent presents a set of songs that range from timelessly straight-ahead bluegrass to effervescent swing and heartfelt ballads.
Joining her on the album are the members of her stellar road band the Rage on several cuts, and some very special guests including Jesse McReynolds, Russell Moore, Bryan Sutton, Becky Issacs, Kathy Chiavola and country music impresario James Stroud. The album was co-produced by Rhonda and her brother Darrin Vincent (of Dailey & Vincent), at Rhonda’s own studio, Adventure Studios in Nashville.

This CD is her most personal, autobiographical project yet. “I have never written five songs to include on an album,” she remarks. “I have to be inspired to write a song…but there’s been no shortage of inspiration lately.” From the hard-driving bluegrass of “Hit Parade of Love” (an old Jimmy Martin tune and longtime concert favorite) to tender balladry on “I Give My Love to You” (a touching original ballad, performed as a duet with Russell Moore) to the rollicking, playful autobiographical title track and the concert favorite, “Bluegrass Saturday Night” Rhonda proves once again she is the queen of bluegrass.
Rhonda will continue her ongoing U.S. tour in 2008 in support of “Good Thing Going” starting on January 18. For a complete schedule go to www.rhondavincent.com or www.rounder.com.
