Martina

In the 11 years since her debut album, this plucky singer has staked out her territory as country music’s poster woman for female independence. That mantle often becomes a burden on her sixth studio album. She’s chosen more anthems of self-worth, but they celebrate triumph over adversity in such generalized terms that they cheat the listener out of specifics that might lend those victories the weight of truth. McBride’s next step may be to rejoin the regular folk.
