Music reviews of Martina McBride - Greatest HitsMusic Review: 'Blessed' With Martina
Thank God for Martina McBride. She has been giving great service to country music and to country music radio for well over a decade now. She is a vocalist of immense talent whose range in voice and music is unending. Martina has proven herself to be an artist that is out of the norm for today's country music and can sometimes be hard to put in a single category. With today's fill of soft, generic, country/pop tunes that clutter the airwaves, it is nice to know that Martina is someone who makes music that rises above the others and doesn't get trapped. With the type of music that is out there being sung by other women who have capable voices, it doesn't go anywhere because they don't have the character or passion that Martina does. She sings with such fierce certainty and poignance, that she makes everything she does seem much more important. And a lot of it is. With such light pieces of fluff like 1999's "I Love You", Martina manages to imbue much more charm and irresistability to the song and makes it much more better than if someone else had done it. Same goes with her two earlier hits, the toe tapping country rockers "My Baby Loves Me" and "Life #9", both are the first two songs on the CD, and both from the "The Way I Am" CD. Also from that CD is the non-single cut, "Strangers", a song that Martina says is the best non-single of hers. Martina also became known as an "Issue" singer. And her songs and interpretation of the strong stories in each are some of the best in the biz. The first one, and what is her trademark song, is "Independence Day", a fiercely written triumph that tells the tale of an abused wife getting her revenge. It is a great song and Martina gives it one heck of a performance. One of the 4 new songs on the disc is another great issue song called "Concrete Angel". This one is so delicately written and so beautifully performed, it ranks with one of Martina's best. Hands down. The rest of the CD has everything that has come in between. Her smash hit with pianist Jim Brickman called "Valentine", which has become a hallmark song every year when the holidays rolls around, is here. One of her best hits is "Wrong Again". A great catchy delivery that gets points for having a different chorus every time. "Whatever You Say" is one of those classic Martina performances that blows out the speakers. "There You Are", which is a beautiful song, should of been a bigger hit. "Love's The Only House" is a top notch song wonderfully written with a Bruce Springsteen-like harmonica part. "A Broken Wing" is one of her best triumphs. Great sound and a great delivery. The other 3 new songs(new at the time anyway)were Martina classics. The funky and jammin' "When God Gearing Women Get The Blues", the powerful "Where Would You Be", and the song that Martina says seems written just for her, "Blessed". Martina has gotten the due and respect she deserves. It pains me to see reviews from critics who praise a hardcore honkytonkin' female performer who they say isn't a cookie cutter of people like Faith and Martina. This brings me to believe that people, including some critics, don't quite get or understand Martina. She sings pop-ish country tunes and has a big, big voice. I guess that means it's all the same to them, when in reality it means that they don't know the music and they don't pay good enough attention. With songs missing from her debut album, a few choice cuts and hits that were excluded here, and already a few new hits with her latest release "Martina", it shouldn't be long before this little powerhouse with the most beautiful eyes there is has a second volume.
