Martina McBride - Waking Up Laughing

Waking Up Laughing is Martina McBride's ninth album, following her massive success with Timeless, a self-produced collection of country standards. The new album from one of America's most successful and popular figures carries on that theme, and also touches on social awareness, with songs tastefully and discretely performed about subjects such as unwed mothers and child abuse.

McBride has used her position in the past to highlight issues close to her heart (who can forget Independence Day?) and it is good to see establishment figures unafraid to push the envelope. Waking Up Laughing is again self-produced, and showcases Martina's exquisite vocals at their best. Quietly taking chances without upsetting her hard-core fanbase, this release sees another step forward for the consistently excellent Martina McBride
