This song is just beautiful. It stays in my mind, I hear the song in my head. One of those memorable songs. I have seen Rhonda play live for many years and have heard her original songs and covers. She is a major talent spanning many genres of music. I have been trying to hook her up with the Neville Brothers, or Dr. John or Lee Oskar, Howard Scott or Harold Brown from War/Low Rider or Fragga Ranks, the great reggae master! She can pick up raw beats immediately, live, and make magic happen. That rich voice is soothing and unforgettable.

What A Musical Trip This CD Is....

author: Linda Messinger
Out Of My Heart is a wonderful masterpiece of the soul. Rhonda has taken almost every human feeling, from humor to love to loss, into a musical and lyrical world all its own. To top it off is a voice that is an instrument in of itself. The arrangements, the production...This CD is a "must have". Thanks, Rhonda-the best keeps getting better.
