Rhonda Vincent, known as the “Queen of Bluegrass,” has recently unveiled a highly anticipated collaboration with Dolly Parton and Cody Johnson on the timeless classic “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” This track is part of Vincent’s forthcoming album, *Destinations And Fun Places*, which is a collection of duets centered around songs that evoke a sense of place or travel.
Vincent shared that including “Take Me Home, Country Roads” in the album was a deliberate choice because of its global recognition and its instant sing-along appeal. The track is reimagined with a bluegrass twist, featuring intricate string arrangements led by her fiddle player, Adam Haynes. Vincent initially sought out Johnson to harmonize with her on the song, having previously worked with him on his own project. The addition of Dolly Parton, who brings her signature flair to the song with harmonies and a playful call-and-answer section, was a special treat that elevated the collaboration.
The album itself has been a labor of love for Vincent, taking three years to complete. The idea was sparked by a song lost in the 2010 Nashville flood, which Seely had written for Vincent. This loss inspired Vincent to create an entire album of destination-themed songs, including other duets with artists like Alison Krauss, Trisha Yearwood, and Jeannie Seely.
Vincent describes the experience of working with such legendary artists as a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity, with each collaboration bringing something unique to the project. The album, set to release soon, promises to be a standout in Vincent’s illustrious career.
