Free Music Notes for Martina McBride - Greatest HitsFree Music Review: Greatest Hits it is Hit: 5 Stars
there's a huge difference between martina mcbride and the rest of country's female artists(not that i have a problem with them) but the real difference is MARTINA POURS HER SOUL INTO THE SONG SO WELL..alot of the issues she chooses to sing about really are the issues of the world. The song that stands out the most is INDEPENDENCE DAY.such a sad song but beautiful lyrics and it really does touch your heart. Her older hits are magnificent and really are tad mix of country a lil hint of pop(if you will) and it really works for her. This is a cd almost every person should own ITLL SPEAK TO YOU.i luv the new material my favorite song is WHERE WOULD YOU BE its such a beautiful ballad that has martina's voice so strong and with the instruments it just flows THIS SONG SHOULD GET TO U. All the new songs stand out and well do they stand out. The best one is BLESSED. its just so beautiful and really that song must be autobiographical in many ways for her. WHEN GOD FEARIN' WOMEN GET THE BLUES my god it was a huge hit for her. she chooses her music well.The last song i mention from the new ones is CONCRETE ANGEL when u hear it, itll tear u to pieces is how sad the song is.Shes an artist who doesn't ignore the issues of today and the past. GIVE THIS ALBUM A SHOT ULL LOVE IT AND Ull LEARN SOMETHIN NEW..GUARANTEED
Free Music Review: NEW SONGS WORTH THE PRICE OF THE CD...... Hit: 5 Stars
To say that Martina McBride has an amazing voice is a gross understatement. I can't find the words to describe Martina's vocal ability except to say that it is second to none. This cd contains 13 of her greatest hits including 4 #1's, 1 song that she always thought should be a single and 4 new songs. Those 4 new songs are as good as anything she's ever done and that's saying something. "Where Would You Be", in my opinion, is her best vocal performance to date, "Concrete Angel" proves that she can perform a song without belting it out and still convey the feeling, this is one of the saddest songs i've ever heard and Martina conveys that message beautifully, "Blessed" is a great song and Martina does a great job. I've heard her say that this song could have been written just for her about her life and "When God Fearin Women Get the Blues" is fun and sassy with alot of what I like to call "Martina Attitude" and it proves that Martina belongs in the country genre. The 4 new songs alone are worth the price of the cd and the fact that Martina is donating a portion of the first month's sales to the disaster relief effort proves that her heart is as big as her voice. Thank you Martina for being the class act that you are. I am proud to be a fan.
Free Music Review: Karen's review of Martina McBride's Greatest Hits Hit: 5 Stars
Until recently I haven't been that big of a country fan. I liked Shania and Faith, and that was about it. So I turn on CMT and GAC to catch their videos and I see some of Martina's videos, like "Concrete Angel", "Blessed", "Independence Day" and "Love's The Only House". Last November, I watched CMT's Top 40 Countdown of Females in country. They showed clips of Martina's videos such as "A Broken Wing" and "Whatever You Say". I was very impressed with her vocally. And I thought she really should have been higher than No. 25 This month I finally got around to buying her hits collection. It's the first time I've ever bought a greatests hits by someone I've never owned a album of. All the songs I'd heard and loved by her was on it. I love the nice ballads such as "There You Are", "Wrong Again" and "Where Would You Be". "Safe In The Arms Of Love" is another fave. So is "When God-Fearin' Women Get The Blues." This song has finally gotten me to appreciate the traditional country sound. The happy songs "Happy Girl" and "Blessed are great." I love the 'issue songs' "Indepedence Day", "Concrete Angel" "Love's The Only House" and "A Broken Wing" which is probably my fave song. A country song with a lot of soul. I love it! And now I'm gonna go out and buy all her albums.
Free Music Review: The little lady with the BIG voice! Hit: 5 Stars
Martina's songs speak volumes and this CD is truly a must-have. It is everything a greatest hits record should be - all of her biggest hits (where is "It's my Time"???) neatly packaged, along with a handful of new songs. Martina and producer Paul Worley offer cut-by-cut comments as well.
The new material is just incredible! "Blessed" (written by Troy Verges), reunites Martina with former backup singer Carolyn Dawn Johnson, who just 'makes' the track. The CD version of "God Fearin' Women" is longer than most radio stations played and well worth the price of the CD for the intro. "Concrete Angel" is the story of a little girl lost and is akin to John Michael Montgomery's "The Little Girl". "Where Would You Be" is a Martina trademark song, wondering about love, but in a way that real women do.
The already released material is all great, Martina's powerful breakout hit "Independence Day", the somewhat trite "I Love You", my favorite "Wild Angels" and "Love's the Only House". Martina truly has one of the best voices in country music right now, as evidenced in "Broken Wing", it is so real it will give you chills!
Free Music Review: Nearly perfect career retrospective!! Hit: 5 Stars
This is a great compilation of probably the best voice in music and former female CMA vocalist of the year! They seemed to want to stay with the pop-country stuff and stay away from the honkytonk country, so nothing from her first album is on this collection. This will not bother most people. Evolution was her biggest album to date, so no surprise it has the most songs on this album-five. (Of course, they could have even taken more, like "Be That Way", but when an album is as great as Evolution was, it's hard to get them all. They picked the five best though!)Early breakthroughs, such as "Independence Day" and "Wild Angels" are on here, as well as crossover hits such as "Valentine" (with Jim Brickman) and "I Love You" from the film Runaway Bride. My only complaint besides not enough of Evolution (explained above) is that they did not include "It's My Time" her last single from the Emotion album. Her new single, "When God Fearing Woman Get the Blues" is a little twangy, but is in heavy rotation on CMT. Overall, if you like her angelic voice on any song you have heard, this is an excellent collection to pick up!
