Storm Still Rages
価格: ¥1,789
In recent years, Missouri-born Rhonda Vincent has become one of a handful of extraordinary singers whose voices personify the grace, power, and poetry of contemporary bluegrass music. The 13 exquisite cuts on Storm Still Rages (which she produced, and on which she is joined by luminaries like singers Alison Krauss and Sonya Isaacs, and guitarist Bryan Sutton) is a worthy follow-up to 2000's critically acclaimed Back Home Again, which marked Vincent's return to bluegrass after a foray into mainstream country. Whether on a rousing tribute to the late Bill Monroe ("Is the Grass Any Bluer"), spirited bluegrass reprises of honky-tonk classics ("Drivin' Nails in My Coffin" and Hank Williams's "My Sweet Love Ain't Around"), a sterling Vincent original ("On Solid Ground"), or a fervent, old-timey gospel number (Carl Story's "You Don't Love God if You Don't Love Your Neighbor"), Vincent reminds us what great singing, and great modern bluegrass music, is all about. --Bob Allen
