Good Thing Going out today

Rhonda Vincent - Good Thing GoingRhonda Vincent’s latest CD, Good Thing Going, is officially released today on Rounder Records.

Like her previous bluegrass projects, this one features a number of new Vincent-penned songs and is co-produced by Rhonda and Darrin Vincent. She is joined on three tracks by her crack stage band, The Rage, with the remainder of the tracks featuring ace studio musicians Ron Stewart (banjo), Bryan Sutton (guitar), Darrin Vincent (bass) and Stuart Duncan (fiddle).

Notable guest artists this time out include country mega-star Keith Urban, who adds harmony vocals on The Water Is Wide, and Russell Moore who duets with Rhonda on I Give All My Love To You. Mandolin legend Jesse McReynolds adds his unique crosspicking style to Just One Of A Kind and harmony vocals are provided on several tracks from Becky Issacs and Kathy Chiavola.

Fans of Rhonda’s live shows with The Rage will surely get a kick out of her version of the Jimmy Martin classic, Hit Parade Of Love and Rhonda’s new composition, Bluegrass Saturday Night.

Audio samples can be found on Rounder’s site, or in iTunes.

Whiskey Lullaby - CMA Song of the Year

I just spoke with Dave Carney. Dave is in New York City celebrating with his boss Keith Urban who won two awards from the CMA earlier this evening. It was loud wherever he was so we didn’t speak for long, but he did tell me that Jon Randall and Bill Anderson won song of the year for Whiskey Lullaby, sung by Alison Krauss and Brad Paisley.

UPDATE 7:43 AM: I’ve just learned that Jerry Douglas was named musician of the year last night at the CMA Award Show.
