The bluegrass legend shares her version of the classic song
Multi-award-winning bluegrass artist and Grand Ole Opry member Rhonda Vincent’s new single “Wagon Wheel” from her upcoming album Destinations And Fun Places is available now. As a follow-up to Vincent’s first two singles from the record, “City Of New Orleans,” and “Please Mr. Please,” “Wagon Wheel” continues to set the pace for a themed project nearly two years in the making. The theme of Vincent’s new record is just as the title says, “destinations” and “fun places,” which will take every listener on a journey through different cities, states, and other places of interest around the country. Originally recorded by Old Crow Medicine Show, Bob Dylan and made world-renowned by Darius Rucker, Rhonda adds her unique style.
“I am so excited to create a new version of “Wagon Wheel” that has so many different elements from mid-tempo to breakdown speeds featuring my band, The Rage, an acapella section, and Alison Krauss singing harmony throughout makes it an epic event,” Vincent shares.
As announced Wednesday by the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA), Vincent is nominated this year for two IBMA awards including Female Vocalist of the Year and Music Video of the Year for “The City Of New Orleans.”
Taking her “destination” themed album to heart, Rhonda Vincent continues to tour the country from shore to shore with nearly seventy shows scheduled for the remainder of 2024 in over 20 states, and still adding more, proving the renowned “Queen of Bluegrass” continues to work harder than ever and shows no signs of slowing down.
