Performer: Martina McBride
Producer: Dann Huff; Martina McBride
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution (

Notes: Personnel: Martina McBride (vocals). On her ninth studio album (her first since 2007's WAKING UP LAUGHING), country singer Martina McBride teams with hot Nashville producer Dann Huff (Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts) for a subtle updating of her tried and true sound. The guitars are a little louder and more rock-oriented on songs like the first single, "Ride," and the rollicking opener, "Wrong Baby Wrong Baby Wrong," but McBride's soul remains true to her Grand Ole Opry roots, keeping things from straying too far into crossover territory. Highlights include "Sunny Side Up" (the album's sole songwriting credit for McBride) and the sweet "I Just Call You Mine."

With her incredible vocal prowess and talent for choosing meaningful songs, Martina McBride became one of the top female country stars of the mid-'90s. After Garth Brooks hired the still-unknown McBride as his opening act, the beautiful singer got lots of attention, but her first commercial success came with her second album, THE WAY THAT I AM. Critical success followed soon after. McBride became the go-to gal for songs of female empowerment. In the late '90s, she crossed over to the pop charts, first by collaborating with Jim Brickman and Bob Seger, and then on her own.
