Grand Ole Opry members Dailey & Vincent are ushering in a new chapter with the announcement of their upcoming studio album, A Beautiful Life, set for release June 12, alongside a nationwide tour of the same name.
The announcement follows the pair’s recent multi-week Bluegrass Today Radio Chart No. 1 with their reimagining of “Ruby,” the classic first made famous by The Osborne Brothers. The track marked a return to their deep traditional roots while showcasing the signature harmony and musicianship that have defined their nearly two-decade career.
“It means a great deal to us. ‘Ruby’ is one of those songs that carries so much history, emotion, and weight in bluegrass music, so to see listeners and radio embrace our version in that way is incredibly humbling,” the duo share with MusicRow. “Any time you record a song that has meant this much to so many people for so long, you want to honor the legacy of it while still bringing your own heart to the performance. That was very important to us from the beginning. We never wanted to simply recreate something people already knew, we wanted to pay respect to the tradition, while also delivering it in a way that felt honest to who Dailey & Vincent are today. To have it reach No. 1 on the Bluegrass Today Radio Chart tells us that people connected with that spirit. We’re grateful to radio, grateful to the fans, and grateful for the generations of artists who made songs like ‘Ruby’ timeless in the first place. When a classic song still resonates like that, it says a lot about the power of great music—and we’re honored to be a small part of its story.”
Originally performed as part of a special Grand Ole Opry tribute at the Ryman Auditorium, “Ruby” drew an immediate response from the crowd, ultimately leading to its recording.
“When the Grand Ole Opry asked us to perform an Osborne Brothers classic for a special show at the Ryman, we knew we wanted to choose something that truly represented the power and legacy of their music. ‘Ruby’ has always been one of those songs that just grabs you from the first note it’s haunting, emotional, and unmistakably bluegrass. When we performed it that night, the response in the room was immediate. To feel that kind of connection from the audience and to see the way the song still moved people all these years later told us something. By the time we walked off that stage, we really felt like this might be a song we were supposed to record.”
They followed “Ruby” with the release of “Longer Than That,” offering an early look at the emotional depth of A Beautiful Life.
“What stood out to us first was the heart of the song. ‘Longer Than That’ has a depth and sincerity that immediately got our attention. It speaks to love, commitment, and the kind of bond that stands the test of time, and songs like that always resonate with us. What we loved is that it did not need anything extra to make its point. It is beautifully written, and the emotion is strong enough to carry itself. That allowed us to approach it in a very intimate, understated way and let the lyric, the melody, and the feeling speak for themselves. Those are the kinds of songs that stay with people, because they are honest. ‘Longer Than That’ felt that way to us from the very beginning, and that is what made us want to record it.”
Drawing from bluegrass, country and gospel traditions, A Beautiful Life reflects the duo’s longstanding approach to blending influences while remaining rooted in authenticity.
“Those influences show up in a very natural and organic way, because they have all helped shape who we are as artists. We have never really thought in terms of categories as much as we have thought in terms of songs, and A Beautiful Life reflects that. It is a project that allows different musical threads to come together in a way that still feels cohesive and true to us. Some songs lean more into the roots of what people may expect from us, while others open the door to a broader emotional and musical landscape. But through it all, the focus was always on serving the song and making sure each track felt authentic. That is really the heart of Dailey & Vincent. We draw from a variety of influences, but the goal is always the same: to make music that is meaningful, well-crafted and honest. This album gave us the opportunity to do that in a way that feels both familiar and fresh.”
Harmony remains a defining element of their sound, built on trust and a shared commitment to the song.
“Harmony has always been a defining part of what we do, but not every song calls for both of us to sing all the way through,” the duo’s Jamie Dailey offers. “We’ve always tried to serve the song first, and that means being willing to let the other guy take the lead when that is what the music needs. There’s never been ego in that. It’s about doing what is best for the song.”
Darrin Vincent shares, “And I think that same idea applies beyond the vocals. Jamie brings such a powerful voice and a real emotional presence to the music, and my role has always been to complement that however the song calls for it whether that’s singing lead, singing harmony, or helping shape the record from the production side. At the same time, I think we both understand each other’s strengths, and that trust is a big part of why this works.”
“Darrin brings so much to this duo that people may not always see at first glance,” Dailey adds. “What he does vocally, musically and creatively behind the scenes is a huge part of who we are. I think we complement each other well because we’re not trying to do the exact same thing we’re each bringing something different, and that balance has helped define both our sound and our career.”
In tandem with the album release, Dailey & Vincent will launch the “A Beautiful Life Tour,” kicking off April 10 in Reidsville, North Carolina, and running through the duo’s annual Dailey & Vincent Music Festival in Hiawassee, Georgia, Sept. 17-19.
As they look ahead to the new project, the duo remains driven by the same passion that first brought them together.
“We’ve been blessed beyond anything we could have imagined, and becoming members of the Grand Ole Opry will always be one of the greatest honors of our lives. But what keeps us inspired is the same thing that got us started in the first place—the love of the music. There is still nothing like finding a great song, stepping into the studio, or walking onstage and feeling that connection with the audience.
We also believe music is always giving you something new to chase. No matter how much you’ve done, there is always another song to discover, another way to grow, and another opportunity to say something meaningful. That creative part of it never really leaves you.
And we never take for granted that our fans still want to hear new music from us. That means a lot. It makes us want to keep digging deeper, keep challenging ourselves, and keep giving people songs that might encourage them, move them, or stay with them. At the end of the day, we still love it. We love the process, we love the tradition, and we love the chance to keep making music that reflects where we are in life and what we still have to say. That is what keeps us inspired.”

Rhett lends his unmistakable vocal and modern country soul to the beloved tune that has become synonymous with the road to Augusta National Golf Club. The Valdosta, Georgia native brings a personal connection to the track, honoring its legacy while introducing it to a new generation.
“Recording ‘Georgia On My Mind’ was a pretty surreal moment for me,” shares Rhett. “Being from Georgia, sports and music are both just in my blood. Obviously nobody can touch the original, but it meant a lot to me to be asked to honor both the song and tradition of the Masters.”

Langley wrote the track alongside Miranda Lambert, Joybeth Taylor and Luke Dick, and co-produced it with Lambert and Ben West.

Singer-songwriter Lucas Ball has signed a recording deal with Twelve6 Entertainment. Ball’s first release via Twelve6 will be his cover of Keith Whitley’s “I’m Gonna Hurt Her on the Radio,” available everywhere March 27.
Ball has been steadily building a digital audience through his performances on TikTok, and Twelve6 President and GM Travis Myatt first discovered Ball performing the song on the platform, where the original video has already generated nearly one million views. Rooted in classic ’80s and ’90s country influences, Ball’s sound bridges the gap between the traditional songwriting he grew up on and today’s modern country landscape.
“Lucas has one of the most compelling voices I’ve heard in a long time,” says Myatt. “When you come across someone as talented as he is, you’re usually late to the party. In this case, the stars aligned and I happened to be the first one to reach out. When we finally met in person, it was immediately clear that his character runs just as deep as his talent. Starting with the cover that first took him viral, an ode to one of his heroes, Lucas is on his way to releasing some of the most compelling neo-traditional country music being made today.”
“‘I’m Gonna Hurt Her on the Radio’ is a song that really hits home for me,” says Ball. “It may not be one of Keith Whitley’s most well-known tracks, but it spoke to me, and when I shared my cover online a few months ago, it seemed to resonate with others as well. I’ve always admired the song and its clever lyrics. It’s an honest heartbreak story that still carries a sense of hope, about turning that pain into something meaningful. Singing it feels natural, and it reflects the kind of authentic, heartfelt country music I aspire to make.”
