Title: Top Notch Country Pop from Martina!
Product review: This is a very good compilation of some of Martina McBride's best work. Stand outs are "When God Fearing Women Get The Blues", "Stranger", "Independence Day" and my favorite track, reminiscent of Randy Newman's "I've Been Wrong Before"(beautifully covered by Dusty Springfield in the 60s..), is "Wrong Again". A clever, yet simple song, delivered perfectly by McBride.Overall, McBride does a good job at navigating between the ballads and the uptempos, although her steel-strong voice seems more suited for rangier material, it's nice to see her keep it under control and strive for the "less is more" approach to singing.However, a few tracks go a bit overboard vocally, ("Where Would You Be" has her screaming too much), but most of the time she tends to stay away from the oversinging common to several current pop divas and for that she must be commended.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
