This duo is incredible. Their new CD "Dailey & Vincent" (Rounder) is number one on this week's Bluegrass Unlimited chart and with good reason. They play a traditional style of Bluegrass with fantastic high, tight harmonies reminiscent of the brother duets of the past Bluegrass generations. The album consists of 12 tracks, three of which are sacred/gospel. Eighteen year old Joe Dean picks a mean banjer on this CD.
Jamie Dailey was most recently the lead tenor with Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver. Darrin Vincent is Rhonda Vincent's brother and was most recently with Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder. There is a great story on them in this month's issue of BU.
I won't be surprised if this one is IBMA's Bluegrass Album of the Year for 2008.
A must own. |

Just finished reading Roni Stoneman's biography "Pressing On". Terrific book although quite sad, IMO. It's a good mix of her personal and professional life. It definitely broadened my understanding of bluegrass and country music during that time. She talks a good bit about Hee-Haw as well as being part of the Stoneman family. It is surprisingly well done. I have even more respect for her now.
Highly recommended.
