Rhonda Vincent is on my bucket list of artists to see live. Hasn’t happened yet, but hopefully soon.

We had a chance to see her about 6 or so years ago, at a bluegrass festival, and she was great.

I saw Rhonda perform this weekend at the Palatka (FL) Bluegrass Festival – she is a brilliant performer and her band is topflight. Curiously enough she wasn’t the headliner this time around (special guest Gene Watson was) but she took two 45 minute segments and performed with Watson on a couple of songs

…well, jason, try patty’s “you don’t even know who i am”. nonetheless, a fine tune by rhonda vincent. at first, i couldn’t quite unterstand, why anybody would give away a potential chart hit by loading it up with too much fiddle for today’s country radio. but patty had taken that song structure already to #5 in 1995.

although i enjoy the barn kind of feeling of this production arrangement, denying it the “steel-treatment” and a notch more tempo leaves the tune falling somewhat short of its full potential.

is the simplicity of three chords and the truth becoming an obstacle for brand new melodies? there have been a few songs lately that sounded rather familiar to some ancestor.

This Henry Carrigan guy is everywhere!

Seriously though, this song wasn’t on my radar at all, so thanks for bringing it to my attention. Like Leeann said, I love it when Rhonda goes country.

Jason, I know what you mean. It does sound like it could be a Patty Loveless song.

The melody reminds me a lot of a Patty Loveless song, though I can’t think of which one yet.
