In paying tribute to her roots, Martina McBride doesn't merely cover a selection of classic country favorites, she conjures an entire era. You'd swear that was Floyd Cramer playing piano on the album-opening "You Win Again," and Chet Atkins picking guitar on the following "I'll Be There." The steel guitar featured so prominently throughout Timeless recalls a time when country sounded distinctly--and proudly--different from rock, while the background chorale on "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "Once a Day," as well as the soaring strings on "Rose Garden," remind one of the "countrypolitan" crossover sound. Except for a delicate rendering of Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss Someone," McBride's versions don't really add anything to the originals, because these songs weren't missing anything. But she makes "I Don't Hurt Anymore" sound as fresh and pure as it did when Hank Snow recorded it more than a half-century ago, while her rendition of "Till I Can Make It on My Own" has all the brittle conviction that Tammy Wynette invested in it. --Don McLeese Recommended Martina McBride

Summary: TIMELESS TRIBUTE TO THE LEGENDS OF COUNTRY MUSIC 2008-08-25
Comment: This collection of cover songs is such a welcome change of direction from Martina, who always tends to ride the country/pop fence. Martina does a great job of breathing new air into old classics. If you enjoyed the original recordings of these songs, you should enjoy this album. My favorite off of this album is her remake of Sammi Smith's "Help Me Make It Through the Night."

Summary: Best CD Since Her Fist 2007-05-05
Comment: I just bought this [...] this morning, and I'm telling you right now, this is the best CD Martina McBride has done since her first one. She almost makes you forget that these classic songs were originally done by other singers. I know of nobody else who would be able to handle Connie Smith's 1964 hit "Once A Day" so well.
Another thing, this CD is actually Country (I mean the "real" thing) and it's really great to see how Martina handles the real stuff.
Buy this one if you're a Martina McBride fan... or if you're a fan of REAL Ccountry Music like it was back in the day!
As I said, I loved Martina anyway, but after this CD, I have a whole new respect for her and her music.
