Martina McBride – Shine – CD Review
15 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Martina McBride – Shine – CD Review
Martina McBride – Shine (RCA, 2009) I can’t seem to get away from Dann Huff these days. On ‘Shine’ Martina McBride co-produces with Huff for the first time and, while not a radical departure, the difference is noticeable. Late in 2008, Martina came roaring into the charts with lead-off single ‘Ride’, a glorious ode to Read More

Keith Urban – Defying Gravity (Capitol Nashville, 2009) in stores March 31st This review has been a week-long process. It was written, re-written, thrown out and written again.

Dierks Bentley – Feel That Fire (out February 3, 2009) The lead-off single and title track Feel That Fire left me quite underwhelmed. A song with that title should have more…, well, fire. But singles, thankfully, are not always good indicators for the entire album. The CD comes with its share of vintage Dierks: partysong Read More
