| | Martina Mcbride Timeless CD Martina Mcbride Discography of CDs
(9 Customer Reviews)
While many of her contemporaries (including Trisha Yearwood and Patty Loveless) imbued their 2005 releases with a traditional bent, Martina McBride went one step further and recorded TIMELESS, an entire album of country classics, many of which date back to the 1950s and '60s. McBride's commitment to these songs is evident both on the disc's extensive liner notes (which present many facts about the tunes, such as who originally performed each one), as well as in her soulful, stirring performances. While every track here benefits from her nuanced delivery, McBride shines the brightest on a buoyant version of Ray Price's "I'll Be There" (with additional singing by Dan Tyminski and Rhonda Vincent), a swooning take on Don Gibson's "I Can't Stop Loving You," and a delicate rendition of Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss Someone" (with harmony vocals by Dolly Parton). For those seeking vintage songs channeled through one of the finest interpretive voices in 21st-century country, TIMELESS is ideal.
Personnel include: Martina McBride (vocals); Dolly Parton, Dwight Yoakam, Rhonda Vincent (vocals); Gordon Mote (piano, Wurlitzer piano, Hammond b-3 organ); Larry Paxton (bass guitar); Eddie Bayers (drums).
Recording information: Blackbird Studios, Nashville, Tennessee.
Entertainment Weekly (No. 847, p.87) - "...[T]he fetching pop-country singer delivers her fiest record..." - Grade: B+ Martina Mcbride Timeless Songs Timeless Music Review Average Rating: (4.6 out of 5 stars)    List All Reviews Need at least another two Until this album Martina was just a name - another strong singer of life's hurt and hassle - and there are many. This is a whole new scene, though and the heading says it all. This is just fabulous and has been played many, many times. I'm in the age group whereby I can lay claim to enjoying all the originals but these are so sensitively handled by M. and her band. Wonderful stuff. Please! Another two albums of the same at least and I'll happily supply another thirty titles for you to cover, Martina! Submitted by i.d.lees (Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, U.K.)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Classic This selection purchased as a gift for my wife who is a huge Martina fan. Listened to the entire disc on a road trip this afternoon. Really enjoyed the line up of classic country songs. Martina is gifted with an incredible instrument and she shows that instrument off on many of these all-time favorites. I would recommend this disc to classic country fans and all Martina fans.D Submitted by rpsuire (Denham Springs, LA,USA)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

Purchase Timeless CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Sugarland Twice The Speed Of Life CD (2004)
Timeless
$10.79 Fronted by the seriously soulful vocalist Jennifer Nettles, Sugarland is a trio that makes immediately accessible, radio-ready country-pop. Singer/songwriters Kristen Hall and Kristian Bush comprise the other two-thirds of the group, and together they generate a sound that is equal parts backwoods twang, urban-cowgirl glamour, and suburban working-class malaise, a mix that will undoubtedly appeal to all three demographics. TWICE THE SPEED OF LIFE ...
| | Sara Evans Real Fine Place CD (2005)
Timeless
$8.99 On 2005's REAL FINE PLACE, country singer Sara Evans kicks things off with the twangy, upbeat "Coalmine," an allusion (intentionally or not) to the great Loretta Lynn. Rather than being a coalminer's daughter, however, Evans is a coalminer's girlfriend, offering a playful update of a classic country theme. Although Evans shows an allegiance to her rural roots, ...
| | Carrie Underwood Some Hearts CD (2005)
Timeless
$9.75 Country purists may take offense at finding American Idol winner Carrie Underwood's debut album in the country section. An unabashedly manufactured commercial product, SOME HEARTS is the sound of mainstream country in the 2000s heavily steeped in glossy pop. There's nothing downhome or roots-conscious about Underwood's voice or looks: she's the pretty blonde next door with a fine singing voice, but the powers that be have made her a country artist, and that's what the public gets.
None of this is to say that SOME HEARTS is not a good pop album. The combination of Underwood's considerable gift and the slick, spot-on production of Dan Huff and Mark Bright makes for a fine package. Even on somewhat by-the-numbers tunes (like her smash hit "Inside Your Heaven"), ...

$19.39 Not since Prince released the three-hour, three-CD set EMANCIPATION in 1996 or the Magnetic Fields took a similar number of discs for the sprawling 69 LOVE SONGS in 1999 has an artist attempted something as expansive as Vince Gill's THESE DAYS. A four-disc box set of all new material, nearly all of it Gill originals, ...

$16.45 When I was a kid, one of my many daydreams of how to cross over into adulthood was to run away and become a carny — you know, one of those guys who work in the shadowy seamy underbelly of a touring carnival. Better yet, I’d run off and join the circus. I would picture myself in tights and a long flowing cape, climbing up to the highest point of the big top and doing death-defying stunts as an aerialist, just like Burt Lancaster in the film Trapeze. At some point, the reverie ended. Real life intervened. I grew up to be a mandolin player. But some 45 years later, that childhood daydream became a reality. My daughter, Anna, went to see a show at Circus Juventas, an all-youth circus school in St. Paul, Minnesota. She was hooked. She didn’t need to run away and join the circus. She got mom and dad to drive her. Willingly. Five days a week! Before I knew what was happening, I became a “circus dad” — chauffeuring my child all over town and sitting on the sidelines with other circus dads and moms. We cheer and moan and shut our eyes as our kids learn to do daring tricks. In the process of becoming circus dad, I found out what a special school Circus Juventas is. I’d never seen such a wholesome atmosphere for youth. Toddlers to kids in their late teens work together in a noncompetitive way for one seemingly simple goal: to support each other and to do the best they can do in whatever circus art they’ve chosen. Part of being a circus dad is, of course, volunteering to help with whatever talents you might have. When Dan and Betty Butler, founders and directors of ...
