Waking Up Laughing
Date undefinedThis CD is breathtaking. I was never a big country music fan...more of a "Today's Country" fan. Either way, Martina was fantastic on this CD. I happened to see her live not long after I got it, and it made me appreciate the concert a lot more having had a chance to hear the new songs before I went.

Date undefinedLet me preface this by saying that this was the first Martina McBride album I ever bought. I have since bought a few of her earlier albums. 'Waking Up Laughing' is an album that is very pleasant and endearing to listen to over-all, but in spots the lyrics are downright clutsy. I am not quite sure why some country artists feel the need to reaffirm their faith in God in songs to the general public--can't we figure that out for ourselves? She is sweet and she is good and all that but somehow I can't get around the fact that she has to spell that out so often. Martina works the same sort of material, in the same vein as Patty Loveless, but Patty did it in a way that does not make you feel below her-- she's just one of us. Martina's voice is beautiful, but I think it may have dropped half-an-octave. She sounds like she is pushing it a bit on many songs. I do, however, recommend this album.

Date undefinedMartina McBride sang a song titled Anyway and this has fit right in my life. I have been through so much in my life from my past to the present and at times it is difficult to live with DEPRESSION. The good lord above has dealt me quite a bit in life but for some reason he thinks I was a person to take it all. In my past a person just left my life, no reason or explanation was given to me, through the years I have lost people due to death and then living in this world today at not being 100 percent happy ,but chose to move to another state after 31 years is insane. Though i have been through so much of good times and sad times, tough times, I have not given up with my faith in the lord. I pray everyday and several times and hope that I continue to be blessed. I just do it anyway . Thank you Martina
