Rhonda Vincent - “Good Thing Going”

On the heels of the release of her new CD, Rhonda Vincent and her band, The Rage, will host the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree at midnight Saturday at the Ernest Tubb Record Shop on Music Valley Drive in Nashville, Tenn.

Admission to the show is free for those in and around the Nashville area. For those of you who can’t be there in person, tune your radio dials to 650 AM WSM or listen online at www.wsmonline.com.

That appearance will follow a show on the televised portion of the Grand Ole Opry that evening. The telecast is shown on cable channel GAC. The Opry shows are also broadcast over XM Satellite Radio and WSMonline.com, or on 650 AM, the Opry’s home for years on the radio dial.

Vincent and the Rage this week released their latest CD, “Good Thing Going,” to rave reviews.

“By now it should be obvious that Rhonda Vincent is simply incapable of making anything but good albums. Even by her own lofty standards, though, Good Thing Going is something special — a fully realized bluegrass beauty in which all the elements of songwriting, musicianship, arrangements, and production are state of the art and really couldn’t be better,”David McGee - Barnes & Noble critic

The CD features five Vincent-penned cuts and duets with IIIrd Tyme Out’s Russell Moore and country singer Keith Urban. Besides the Rage, guest musicians include fiddler Stewart Duncan and premiere acoustic guitarist Bryan Sutton.
