 One Of My Favorite Martina Albums! October 17, 2009
CountryGal (Ireland)
This is classic Martina before she started to go more Pop/Country!
Although all of her albums are always great this one in particular is a real gem.
It includes her very first no.1 single Wild Angels and her other fantastic hit Safe In The Arms Of Love with a fantastic mandolin/acoustic guitar riff.Another great up-tempo is the single Swingin' Doors(a great kiss-off song) and the excellent rocking cover of Delbert McClinton's song Two More Bottles Of Wine.The album also has some beautiful ballads like All The Things We've Never Done,Born To Give My Love To You and my 2 favorite hit ballads Phones Are Ringin' All Over Town and Cry On The Shoulder Of The Road-gorgeous songs!
Such a fantastic album,you couldn't possibly go wrong with this...

Martina is a Wild Angel March 22, 2006

She sings like an Angel but has never stuck to what people believed she should sing.
This is one of my favourite albums from Martina. She sounds beautiful singing these emotional songs.
This album has several of my favorite songs: "Safe in the arms of Love", "Phones are ringing all over town", and "Beyond the blue". These songs are all varying in topic, but they all sound wonderful with Martina singing them. Martina said at the time, that this album felt the most like her - I agree. It's full of songs about relationships - All the things we've never done, and You've Been Driving All The Time that reflect Martina's own marriage to John McBride, and songs such as Swingin' doors, and Phones are ringin' all over town, reflect Martina's feelings about strong women. All in all, this is a great album with lovely, beautiful songs.
Possibly my favorite original Martina album January 6, 2006

Only two of the tracks here - the title track and Safe in the arms of love - were included on Martina's Greatest hits collection, but this is a fine collection of songs, so many of which sound like they ought to have been hits.
Martina McBride has recorded many fine albums, but I find this one particularly appealing is the use of traditional instruments (steel guitar, mandolin, fiddle) together will all the instruments normally to be found on nineties pop-country albums. Listening to this, nobody can be in any doubt that Martina is, at heart, a country singer, even if her music has plenty of pop mixed in with it.
The only oldie on here is Two more bottles of wine, a song written and first recorded by Delbert McClinton but which became better known after it was covered by Emmylou Harris. Emmylou's version first appeared on Quarter moon in a ten-cent town and was also a major country hit for her. Because of that, it has appeared on several Emmylou compilations.
All the other songs are originals and the general feel of the album on first listen is upbeat, partly because the songs are so catchy that any sadness is not always obvious from the music. There are sad songs here, notably Phones are ringing all over town and A great disguise. A song that sounds as if it ought to be sad, All the things we've never done, is actually not at all sad, but reflective and looking forward to a bright future.
You've been driving all the time is about female domination, but as is so often the case with such songs, it is immediately followed by a song expressing a woman's need for a man - in this case, Born to give my love to you.
This is a very entertaining album that clearly demonstrates why Martina is one of the finest and most successful pop-country singers around. Now re-issued at a budget price, it's even better value for money.
