Teenage Daughters & I'm Gonna Love You Through It:

"Teenage Daughters," Martina's debut single for Republic Nashville, was released the week after Country Radio Seminar, and fans immediately recognized Martina's personal stamp in the lyrics. The viewpoint clearly echoes the highs and lows of being a mom with unpredictable teenage daughters and struck a deep chord with fans of all ages. Her follow-up single, "I'm Gonna Love You Through It," wasn't penned by the singer but touched Martina personally the very first time she heard it.

"It's such a powerful song. The first time I listened to `I'm Gonna Love You Through It,' I was moved by what it says," Martina explains. "I thought immediately, `This song is going to help someone.' I had the same reaction to it that I did the when I heard `Independence Day' for the first time. Even though I haven't gone through anything like this with someone close to me, I still feel like people listening to this song will find some hope or the words to say what they're feeling. When I played this song for my husband John, his first reaction was, "That's what I would want to say to you.'" The song's video showcases cancer survivors and their supporters as they courageously live their lives. Among those appearing in the video are singer Sheryl Crow, "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts, "Today" show anchor Hoda Kotb, and well-known television journalist Katie Couric.

"11" is more than just the title of McBride's latest CD. Rather, this is also her 11th record with 11 newly recorded tracks in her illustrious career and it's released on October 11th. As if all of this is not enough, McBride will be hopping on the Amtrak to promote this record making 11 stops. However, it is not mathematical gimmick that will propel this disc to a brand new career high for this country diva, it's the songs. The majority of these 11 tracks are stellar -- packed with well-constructed melodies, thoughtful lyrics and catapulted by McBride's soaring high octane soprano. After 10 studio records with RCA Nashville Records, "11" marks a new beginning for McBride. On this her debut record for Republic Nashville Records, she has enlisted Bryon Gallimore (Faith Hill and Tim McGraw) as producer. Thankfully, Gallimore has not chosen the commercial exploitative route of imbuing this record with a ear...Read more

There was a slight hesitation in buying this album for me. I don't particularly like a lot of current country music especially what is being played on country radio. But from the moment i heard One night my hesitation was discarded. Every song on this album leaves you feeling something. From One night with a remembrance of what it is to live on love. To Marry Me (a duet with train better than the original) that leaves you with the perfect wedding song. Teenage daughters dealing with the comical side of raising teenagers. To I'm going to love you through it a emotional depiction of the struggle for women with breast cancer and their husbands support. If you buy no other cad this month buy this one. You will not be disappointed.

I absolutely love this record. It is different and refreshing. I especially loved the song Broken Umbrella. I just found myself singing along with it and cutting it up lounder and louder. I love the fun feel it has and the good feeling it leaves you with. I also loved the two last tracks When You Love a Sinner and Long Distance Lullaby. Those two songs are beautifully written songs and she sings them with such passion.
