"My Baby Loves Me": good... a very sweet and happy song. (5 stars)
"Life #9": great... an up-tempo song, full of country dancing and two-stepping. (5 stars)
"Independence Day": Martina's career hit... an excellent song against domestic violence and can be used for patriotic purposes. (5 stars)
"Strangers": I love this song... but I am sad Martina never released it as a single. However, I'm glad she included it in this collection. (5 stars)
"Safe in the Arms of Love": a very cool sounding record, the background vocals are amazing, Martina's voice rules and it really is "pure ear candy."
"Wild Angels": nice... Martina's first #1 song and an overall very happy song. Just like a cartoon. (5 stars)
"Valentine": a love ballad well sung by Martina, perfect for all weddings. She duets this song with guest artist, pianist, Jim Brickman. (5 stars)
"Broken Wing": what a beautiful song... I love how Martina holds the last note 'fly' for 12 seconds!!! (5 stars)
"Happy Girl": another up-tempo song, has real nice melody, shows the 'happy side' of Martina. (5 stars)
"Wrong Again": I love this... it has a different chorus every time, nice background vocals, an overall a strong vocal performance by Martina. (5 stars)
"Whatever You Say": wow... I still remember the vocal performance Martina did on the 1999 ACM awards of this song and I am blown away. I am in awe of such determination. (5 stars)
"I Love You": very cool song, found on the 'Runaway Bride' soundtrack and to this day, Martina's most successful single, spent 5 consecutive weeks at the #1 spot in Country charts. (5 stars)
"Love's the Only House": wow... this powerhouse song shows the mature, humanizing side of Martina. It makes you want to do something for your fellow humans. Full of very positive messages. (5 stars)
"There You Are": sung really low and soft in this recording. However, if you see Martina in concert, this song is a very powerful 5 star performance. (4 stars)
"When God-Fearin' Woman Get the Blues": a very cool up-tempo song, and drop dead hilarious... against cheating, and traditional instruments such as dobro and fiddle are included. (5 stars)
"Where Would You Be": my all-time favorite song by a female vocalist!!! Amazing and breathtaking! I love the raw emotions it has and its sincerity. Proves that Martina is the best soprano she can be. (6 stars!!!!)
"Concrete Angel": a very sad song about child abuse. Martina makes you want to do something and help today's children about this. May radio stations never stop playing this! (5 stars)
"Blessed": very good song about Martina's life being 'blessed.' Has very cool background vocals, by Carolyn Dawn Johnson, and a cool music video. (5 stars)
Overall Rating of the Album: 5 STARS!!!!!!!! (5 = BEST)
Rush out and buy this album!!!
Martina's songs speak volumes and this CD is truly a must-have. It is everything a greatest hits record should be - all of her biggest hits (where is "It's my Time"???) neatly packaged, along with a handful of new songs. Martina and producer Paul Worley offer cut-by-cut comments as well.
The new material is just incredible! "Blessed" (written by Troy Verges), reunites Martina with former backup singer Carolyn Dawn Johnson, who just 'makes' the track. The CD version of "God Fearin' Women" is longer than most radio stations played and well worth the price of the CD for the intro. "Concrete Angel" is the story of a little girl lost and is akin to John Michael Montgomery's "The Little Girl". "Where Would You Be" is a Martina trademark song, wondering about love, but in a way that real women do.
The already released material is all great, Martina's powerful breakout hit "Independence Day", the somewhat trite "I Love You", my favorite "Wild Angels" and "Love's the Only House". Martina truly has one of the best voices in country music right now, as evidenced in "Broken Wing", it is so real it will give you chills!
