Good Thing Going had more than it's share of magical studio moments – several of them in the recording of "Just One of a Kind." "It was written by Dottie Rambo, who is a real inspiration to me," Rhonda explains. "Darrin and Kathy Chiavola sang the harmony – it's three-part harmony all the way through, which is unique. Then we had Jesse McReynolds, a legendary bluegrass figure, come in and play his unique style of cross-picking. We thought the song needed a little percussion – like brushes on a pizza box. Someone mentioned James Stroud?" Stroud, a country music label owner, producer, and seasoned session musician, was Vincent's musical and business mentor, and remains a much-respected behind-the-scenes figure in country music. "He's a drummer by trade," Rhonda recalls, "and we called him. He said 'If you got the pizza box and the brushes, I'll be there.' So I went to Pizza Hut and got the box and picked up some brushes, and he came in and played on his very first bluegrass session!"

Although Good Thing Going features an impressive selection of musicians and guests, Rhonda is clear that everything is done in service of the songs. "For every project we do, it's always about finding the right person for the song: we want the right songs, the right musicians, the right guests." Sometimes the right guests are there on the bus; Rhonda's touring band The Rage are a versatile and confident ensemble, and are featured on several cuts, including Vincent's original "Bluegrass Saturday Night."

"'Bluegrass Saturday Night' is really a tribute to the fans," she explains. "I debuted it at the Ryman Auditorium during their bluegrass series, and the response was so incredible. I was thinking it would just be a song that's not on any album, just a tribute we do in concert. But the next night, we got to a show and already people were requesting it. A lady in the front row said 'Sing "Bluegrass Saturday Night,"' and I said 'How did you know about that?' She said 'I read about it on your message board and now I want to hear it!' That told me something?"

With her invigorating performances continuing to forge powerful connections with her fans, a richly constructed new album in the wings, and her continued growth as a songwriter, Rhonda Vincent has reached a new peak in her already storied career. Her optimism bursts through the speakers, and is both believable and inspiring. "This album says a lot about where I am, and where I'm going," she concludes. "After all that my family, my band, my support staff, and I have worked for – all that sacrifice and effort, practices and gigs and endless hours in the studio – I truly believe we all have got a good thing going."
