While seemingly counterproductive to walk away from a burgeoning country career to drive full-tilt into bluegrass, dynamic singer/mandolinist Rhonda Vincent succeeded in not only discovering her true calling (she has been crowned top bluegrass vocalist seven years in a row) but also revitalizing the trad genre. On her seventh picking-bowing-plucking-chopping-harmonizing feast, she leads a crack band of instrumentalists, including fiddle star Stuart Duncan and flat-picking guitar ace Bryan Sutton, in a 12-song collection that runs the gamut from breakdowns to country swing to balladic waltz. She delivers five originals, including two intoxicating kickers and the dobro-spiced "I Give All My Love to You," featuring a Russell Moore duet. Also guesting are mandolinist Jesse Reynolds on a buoyant three-part harmony update of the classic Jim & Jesse tune "Just One of a Kind" and Keith Urban singing harmony on traditional ballad "The Water Is Wide." —Dan Ouellette
