Good Thing Going is the 12th studio album released by Rhonda Vincent. The album was released on January 8, 2008, via Rounder Records. It was her third number-one album on the Top Bluegrass Albums chart,[1] and her second Top 40 album on the Top Country Albums[2] chart.
The album features an appearance by singer Keith Urban, who sings harmony vocals on "The Water Is Wide".[3] Two singles, "I'm Leavin'" and "I Gotta Start Somewhere", were released, however, neither one charted.
Critical reception
Шаблон:Album ratings Rick Anderson of Allmusic said: "Good Thing Going finds Vincent bringing all of those styles together to create a very solid and enjoyable program." He also said the album is "very highly recommended".[4]
Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine gives the album 3 out of a possible 5 stars and writes, "What distinguishes Vincent from the artist to whom she’s most frequently compared, Alison Krauss, is her aggressive vocals; perhaps more so than any contemporary country singer, Vincent’s power and phrasing recall the great Connie Smith."[5]
Lizza Connor Bowen of American Songwriter gives the album 4 stars and writes, "Seven is certainly Rhonda Vincent’s lucky number. This seven-time International Bluegrass Association female vocalist bowed her seventh Rounder album, Good Thing Going, this January. As the title implies, it’s a testament to why she remains the reigning empress of bluegrass."[6]
My Kind of Country's Razor X gives the album an A− and says, "Good Thing Going is a more eclectic set of songs than we’d heard to date from Rhonda, with elements of traditional folk, Western swing and contemporary country offered up alongside the standard bluegrass."[7]
Exclaim!'s Kerry Doole reviews the album and writes, "Her purity of tone and phrasing are impeccable, and there's a pleasing variety to the material, from slow, hurtin? songs like "Scorn of A Lover? to jaunty romp "Hit Parade Of Love."[8]
