"This DVD is just fantastic: fun to watch and a total delight to listen to. What impresses the most is how skilled these players are. The extras give some insight into how that's possible: practice hours a day and grow up in a supportive family. There's not a clunker of a song here, and the video and sound are so good that you genuinely experience the intimacy of the performance. It helps that Vincent has a big personality backed up by incredible talent. Don't miss this one. A rare treat, and a great introduction to bluegrass for anyone who considers it too country."
One hell of a show!

Exciting For Any Bluegrass Fan or Fan of Rhonda Vincent

"This is a wonderful concert DVD that has been added to my music library. The music is hard driven from the beginning to the end. Excellent showmanship, musical skills, talent all around. It was nice to see The Cherryholmes children fiddling on the show with her, and the other guest talent, Cody Kilby from Ricky Skaggs.
Make sure you watch the bonus footage when they go home place where The Sally Mountain Shows & Festival are held.You meet a lot of her family members and hear about their music heritage. If Rhonda is playing in your area, go see her and the Rage-you will NOT be disapointed."
A must for any music lover

"Finally we get to see this amazing performer in a venue suited to the best of the Bluegrass genre. I will admit to being a huge Rhonda Vincent fan but this DVD showcases her talent and that of her band in a way that can only be described as magnificent. If you are truly looking for an artist who will move and reach you with a variety of themes including hard driving train songs and touching ballads, this is the ticket. Everything on this DVD is very good and you will appreciate the single performances of her band members especially Josh Williams who delivers a great song of his own and stands out as a flat picker extraordinaire. Along with Kenny Ingram's fabulous banjo stylings her fiddle player is among the best I have ever heard. Overall it is a must have for any music lover"
