  • Personnel: Martina McBride; Ashley Cleveland.
  • Martina McBride has been a performer ever since she was a child, touring with her musical family, a la The Partridge Family. But all those years on the road obviously came in handy, because on her sophomore album, THE WAY THAT I AM, McBride exudes the vocal confidence of a pro.
  • If this album was her breakthrough, then the bouncy, infectious pop ditty, "My Baby Loves Me," was her smash-through single. She followed it up with the urgent "Life #9" and anthemic "Independence Day," her assertive stance on abuse. The opening rockabilly "Heart Trouble" offers the proper introduction to the nice acoustic edge permeating the album.
  • Vocally potent throughout, McBride glides through rock, pop, ballad, rockabilly, and blues. If there are any doubts about McBride's vocal stylings, check out the bluesy ballad "Where I Used To Have A Heart." Without knowing, it could easily be mistaken for early Bonnie Raitt.
  • This is not a country album; it's a pop album with a slight Kansas accent. On THE WAY THAT I AM, the way that McBride is -- strong voiced, pretty (she has those piercing blue eyes), and in full control of her music -- is just right.
