Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts/ Webster & Associates) Rhonda
Vincent - the fiery vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter dubbed "the new queen of bluegrass" by the Wall Street Journal - is set to release her new two-disc album Only Me on January 28, 2014. In addition to receiving an unprecedented seven consecutive "Female Vocalist of the Year" awards from the International Bluegrass
Music Association (IBMA), being named IBMA's 2001 "Entertainer of the Year," and being the co-author of the 2004 IBMA "Song of the Year,"
Vincent was nominated for a 2006 Grammy award for "Best Bluegrass Album" for Ragin' Live, as well as a double nomination in 2007 for "Best Bluegrass Album" for All American Bluegrass Girl, along with "Best Country Collaboration with Vocals" for Midnight
Angel featuring
Bobby Osborne.
Since her debut, Rhonda 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 music. Gleaming with hope, resilience, and gratitude, Rhonda presents a set of songs that range from timelessly straight-ahead bluegrass to classic country. Joining her on the album is Willie
Nelson on the title track, Daryle Singletary featured on "We Must Have Been Out of Our Minds", and members of Diamond Rio.
"When Rhonda
Vincent opens her mouth, it's great… whether she's singing country or bluegrass. This collection of songs on "Only Me" is incredible. God gave Rhonda an unbelievable voice and I am so thankful that we get to enjoy it. I love her like a sister and enjoy her music as her biggest fan," says Dolly Parton.
Currently nominated for six SPBGMA awards including Entertainer of the Year, Rhonda continues to be a trailblazer for the genre. Rhonda
Vincent & The Rage are the most awarded band in bluegrass history with 88 industry awards.
