bluegrass reviews

Rhonda Vincent has been hailed the "new Queen of Bluegrass" by the Wall Street Journal. Does her first self-released album Taken help her to keep her status as a main 'gateway drug' to the expressive Bluegrass genre?

Bluegrass music can get 'showy' and while the Steep Canyon Rangers are gifted in every way, the five-piece band doesn't get too crazy on this fine new release produced by Ronnie Bowman for Rebel Records.
