CMT comments on Rhonda’s…
Edward Morris has a piece up on the CMT Country Music Blog about Rhonda Vincent and her… shall we say, décolletage.
The tongue-in-cheek article is titled Deep In The Bosom Of Bluegrass, and discusses the writer’s favorable impression of Ms. Vincent’s choice in clothing - and the reaction that the cover of her 2003 CD, One Step Ahead, generated within the bluegrass community.
As one who is pure of heart, I barely took notice of Vincent’s stylistic swashbuckling until it came up at the 2003 International Country Music Conference. There, on a panel called “Country Music and Gender,” banjo player and magazine columnist Murphy Henry grouched about Vincent’s recent epidermal revelations and then flatly declared, “You don’t show cleavage in bluegrass!”

Her Hollywood-ish photos of the last few years don’t upset me, I just think she’s taking the glamourous approach when she has enough natural beauty and musical talent that she doesn’t need to go that route to be successful.

Well, I can say that anytime a display of skin is brought in front of me in bluegrass, I’m temporarily taken aback. I mean, it’s like a slight shock. I view bluegrass as a purity and honesty and anything that starts to hint otherwise puts a hurdle in my happy-go-lucky treck. I’m not critisizing by any means. A belly-button here, some cleavage over there, who cares? Or maybe, why should we care. They aren’t going as far as demoralizing our favorite genre. So, why even discuss it?
