AMERICAN GRANDSTAND

If you’re a fan of traditional country duos like George Jones/Tammy Wynette and Conway Twitty/Loretta Lynn, then this CD is a perfect match. As always, Rhonda Vincent’s vocals are spot-on. This time, she has the added benefit of recording with a true country traditionalist, Daryle Singletary, who had hits in the 1990s with “I Let Her Lie” and “Too Much Fun.” Says Vincent, “I’ve always loved singing with Daryle Singletary. He is one of the greatest singers in this generation of country music.”
The 12-track disc includes the lead single “One,” as well as “Golden Ring” that George and Tammy made famous. “Above And Beyond” was a Top 5 hit for Country Music Hall of Famer Buck Owens, “After The Fire Is Gone” and “Louisiana Woman Mississippi Man” was cut by Conway and Loretta, and “We Must Have Been Out Of Our Minds” is a song that Jones sang with a different duet partner, Melba Montgomery. Vincent penned the title-cut “American Grandstand.” She and Singletary produced the CD. This disc is an excellent follow-up for fans who enjoyed Vincent’s album Only Me that was half country/half bluegrass. (Upper Mgmt.
