About the Song

Rhonda Vincent, the “Queen of Bluegrass,” possesses a voice that can make the mountains weep and the rivers dance. It’s a voice steeped in tradition, yet vibrant and alive, capable of breathing new life into age-old stories and melodies. And nowhere is that more evident than in her captivating song, “Music’s What I See.”

This isn’t just a song; it’s a testament to the power of music to transcend the ordinary and transform our perception of the world around us. Vincent, with her characteristic warmth and sincerity, invites us to open our eyes and ears to the symphony of life, to find the melody in the mundane and the rhythm in the everyday.

“Music’s What I See” isn’t your typical bluegrass tune. While it retains the genre’s instrumental hallmarks – the banjo’s bright twang, the fiddle’s soaring melodies, the mandolin’s driving rhythm – it ventures into a more expansive soundscape. There’s a touch of folk, a hint of country, and a whole lot of heart. The instrumentation is rich and layered, creating a tapestry of sound that perfectly complements Vincent’s expressive vocals.

The lyrics, penned by the talented Cindy Walker, are nothing short of poetic. They paint vivid images of a world imbued with music: “Sunrise paints the sky with golden harmony,” “Raindrops play a tune upon the window pane,” “Children laughing is a happy melody.” Through these evocative metaphors, Walker and Vincent remind us that music isn’t just something we hear; it’s something we feel, something we see, something that shapes our very understanding of the world.

Vincent’s delivery is, as always, impeccable. She imbues each line with a depth of emotion that resonates with the listener. Her voice, clear as a mountain stream and warm as a summer breeze, draws you in and holds you captive. You can hear the joy, the wonder, the sheer love of music in every note she sings.

“Music’s What I See” is more than just a song; it’s an invitation to experience the world anew, to find the music in the everyday, and to let it transform your heart and soul. So sit back, relax, and let Rhonda Vincent be your guide on this extraordinary musical journey. You won’t be disappointed.
