Rhonda Vincent (February 2007)
Gene Watson's peers within the country music industry believe in the sheer talent of this unassuming man from east
Texas, so much so that Gene is regarded by many of them as
'the singer's singer' - and rightly so!
All of Gene's Peers who were contacted in 2007 were most gracious with
their time & words. It is here, within this special

About Rhonda Vincent...
Rhonda Vincent
was born in July 1962 in Kirksville, MO where she
still lives. Her musical career started in her
family's band as a child. Following an
appearance on the TNN series 'You Can be a Star',
Rhonda was hired to play in Jim Ed Brown's touring
band.
Throughout the 1980s, Rhonda accepted numerous
female vocalist honours from the Society of the
Preservation of Bluegrass Music Association (SPGMA).
In the 1990s, Rhonda signed to Giant Records in
Nashville, where she hoped to achieve crossover
success in the country music market. She saw
the release of two critically acclaimed albums,
'Written in the Stars' in 1993 & 'Trouble Free'
in 1996.
Both albums were critical successes, but failed
commercially. Rhonda then chose Rounder
Records as her new recording home & saw the release
of a series of critically acclaimed traditional
bluegrass albums. 'Back Home Again' was
released in 2000, while 'The Storm Still Rages' saw
the light of day in 2001.
The International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA)
awarded Rhonda Vincent with its Female Vocalist
Award in 2000, 2001, 2002 & 2003. Rhonda also
captured the IBMA's Entertainer of the Year Award in
2001.
The 'One Step Ahead' album, which was released in
2003, features a number of Rhonda's own
compositions, along with a duet with Alison Krauss.
 Rhonda
Vincent was a guest vocalist on the Buck Owens' classic 'Together
again', a track that was included on Gene Watson's 'In
a Perfect World' album, which was officially
released by Shanachie Records
on Tuesday 25 September 2007.
