Rhonda Vincent’s Inspirational Return to Her Roots with All-New Gospel Album
Rhonda Vincent, often hailed as the “Queen of Bluegrass,” has embarked on a heartfelt journey with the release of her first-ever all-gospel album titled “Sunday Morning Singing LIVE.” This latest release marks a significant moment in her career, highlighting both her deep-rooted musical heritage and a long-standing desire to create a full collection of gospel songs. While her fans are accustomed to her award-winning bluegrass performances, this project elevates her artistry and connection to faith to a new level.
Growing up in a musical family in northern Missouri, Rhonda was surrounded by harmonies that echoed through churches and family gatherings. Her early exposure to gospel music in her hometown church in Greentop, Missouri left a lasting impression. However, despite a decades-long successful career in the bluegrass genre, this is the first time she has dedicated an entire album solely to gospel music. Fans and newcomers alike are sure to appreciate the spiritual and emotional depth of “Sunday Morning Singing LIVE.”
Interestingly, Rhonda’s desire to produce this album has been percolating for a long time. Since launching her own record label in 2010, an all-gospel album was at the top of her to-do list. But she didn’t want to rush the process. Instead of heading straight into a studio, she and her team chose a setting close to her heart—the Greentop Methodist Church, a 100-year-old building rich with history and sentimental value.
As determined as she was to record her gospel project, the path to completion wasn’t without its challenges. On the day of recording, a fierce storm swept through the region, cutting off electricity across a 100-mile radius. Yet, the team refused to be deterred. Thanks to some ingenuity and a lot of determination (including $1,500 worth of electrical cables), they powered the recording from their tour bus, proving just how deeply committed they were to bringing this music to life.
Inside the century-old sanctuary, the heat soared to 100 degrees, adding another layer of challenge. Nevertheless, with resolve and passion, Rhonda and her band produced a live performance that’s captured not only on CD but also in a music DVD that is slated for release in the coming months. Featuring 16 tracks, this is far more than a brief gospel experiment — it’s a sweeping celebration of faith, resilience, and music.
“Sunday Morning Singing LIVE”: A Rich Blend of New and Timeless Gospel Classics
The heart and soul of “Sunday Morning Singing LIVE” lie in its powerful blend of traditional hymns and original compositions. From cherished standards like “Old Rugged Cross” to newly-recorded favorites penned by close friends and acclaimed Nashville songwriters such as Carl Jackson and Steve Leslie, the album offers a spiritual journey through music. Songs like “Homecoming” and “Last Best Place” showcase emotional storytelling and sincere reflections on faith and family.
This new gospel album is more than just music—it’s a heartfelt narrative. Each track is infused with Rhonda’s signature vocals and instrumental bluegrass charm, evoking the warmth of Sunday morning worship services. With the help of longtime collaborators, the arrangements are both soothing and soul-stirring, honoring the traditions of gospel music while breathing new life into every melody.
