Rhonda Vincent is acknowledged as one of the leading artists in the field of bluegrass music. An in-demand performer, she maintains one of the busiest tour schedules of anyone on the circuit. Evidence of her success can be found in the fact that she’s a seven-time recipient of the International Bluegrass Music Association award for Female Vocalist of the Year. She’s also walked off with the Entertainer of the Year award, and has continually served as a role model for other leading women in bluegrass, most notably Alison Krauss.

Rhonda Vincent grew up with bluegrass music as a member of her family’s band, the Sally Mountain Show. By the time she was a young teen, she was an accomplished mandolin player and vocalist. When she landed at Rebel for the release of her first solo project in 1988, she was barely 26 and was a bluegrass veteran with over 20 years experience. She released four albums on the Rebel label; Timeless And True Love being the fourth of these recordings.

For this release, she returned to the mix of bluegrass and country that worked so well on her earlier albums. Several familiar faces reappeared (Darrin Vincent, Bela Fleck, Scott Sanders, and Kenny Malone) to work alongside some new (to a Rhonda Vincent recording anyway) recruits: banjoist Alison Brown, Dobro player Randy Kohrs, Nashville session player/pianist Hargus “Pig” Robbins, Russell Moore, and Alison Krauss. In a collection that makes it hard to pick favorites some of the standouts included “Birmingham Turnaround,” Carl Jackson’s “Homecoming,” “Bobby and Sarah,” and the title track which was a hit for the country music group The McCarters. It was a masterful closure to one phase of a career on the move.
