Martina McBride really summed herself up when she belted out the song “I’m Little but I’m Loud!” at a mere seven years of age. The petite framed country singer has a mighty big voice that is rivaled by very few in the music industry today, and she has plenty of Grammy nominations and a good number of Academy of Country Music award wins to prove it. She is even tied with the great Reba McEntire for the most wins of the Country Music Association’s “Female Vocalist of the Year” award!
McBride is best known for her heart wrenching country ballets. “Independence Day” tells the story of a woman suffering from an abusive husband, who finds her own type of independence through a fire. The lyrics plainly state, “Now I ain’t sayin’ it’s right or it’s wrong, but maybe it’s the only way,” which leaves listeners on their own to answer that tough question. “A Broken Wing” and “Concrete Angel” are two more powerful, highly emotional hits. These songs dealing with tough issues combined with Martina’s strong vocals are sure to leave you in awe.
McBride has a new album out for 2011, which was released October 11th, which is her eleventh album and features 11 tracks. It is rightfully titled “Eleven”. Big tracks on the new album are “I’m Gonna Love You Through It”, which is a song of hope about a woman battling cancer and “Teenage Daughters”, of which Martina is no stranger to.
The album is already getting some high praise from critics and audiences alike. Martina McBride recently kicked off her “Eleven Across America” tour. She stopped in 11 cities total. She used this tour as a way to support the fight against breast cancer, by riding a “pink express” and having all the breast cancer survivors she met sign a banner that was flown at the last stop on the tour, the Empire State Building.
Be sure not to miss this country star when she stops at a city near you. Martina McBride tickets, where she will be belting out her new singles, as well as everyone’s old favorites, are on sale right now!
