When the nominations for the 57th Annual Grammy Awards were announced last week, Rhonda Vincent garnered a coveted nomination for Bluegrass Album of the Year. Her 2014 release "Only Me" was received with high critical acclaim following its release, and now serves as a final contender for the highest prize in the music industry - reeling in Vincent's sixth Grammy nomination.
After debuting at No. 1 - where it spent its first two weeks on the chart - "Only Me" continues the long line of history-making success that Vincent has enjoyed. Each of her past eight discs hit either No. 1 or No. 2 on the Billboard Bluegrass Album chart, according to a press release.
The half country/half bluegrass album features duets with both Willie Nelson and Daryle Singletary. Vincent reached the top of the Bluegrass Unlimited National airplay chart for the months of November and December with her songs "Busy City" and the Willie Nelson duet title track "Only Me." Vincent also covers the songs of George Jones & Melba Montgomery ("We Must Have Been Out Of Our Minds"), Jack Greene ("I Need Somebody Bad"), Connie Smith ("Once A Day") and Bill Anderson ("Bright Lights and Country Music").
The 57th Annual Grammy Awards are set to take place on Feb. 8, 2015, in Los Angeles at the Staples Center. You can learn more about the upcoming awards and nominees here.
