Från Rilpedia
Martina McBride, född 29 juli 1966 i Sharon, Kansas, USA, är en amerikansk countryartist.
Martina McBride (born Martina Schiff) was born July 29, 1966, in Sharon, Kan., and grew up on a farm singing country music
from the moment she could tiptoe up to a mike. Before launching her own career on RCA Records, McBride learned about life
on the road by selling T-shirts at Garth Brooks concerts. Her first album, 1992's The Time Has Come, stumbled, but the 1993
follow-up The Way That I Am introduced her to the country audience with the upbeat single and video "My Baby Loves Me."
Another single from that album, "Independence Day," failed to crack the Top 10. However, by singing about spousal abuse
without coming off as preachy, the song has since become McBride's signature song. The video earned a CMA award in 1994,
and McBride has rarely released a single since then without an accompanying video. The title track from 1995's Wild Angels
became her first No. 1 hit, and she joined the Grand Ole Opry that same year. She continued to rack up hits -- including
"A Broken Wing," "Happy Girl," "Wrong Again," "Whatever You Say, "I Love You" and "Love's the Only House" -- and captured
her first CMA female vocalist award in 1999. She took her second CMA female vocalist trophy in 2002, on the strength of her
Greatest Hits package, with the new singles "When God-Fearin' Women Get the Blues," "Blessed," "Where Would You Be" and
"Concrete Angel." a studio album, Martina, followed in 2003. She also won the CMA female vocalist trophy in 2003 and 2004.
In 2005, McBride covered an album's worth of country classics on Timeless. Martina McBride rose to stardom in late 1990s
and up to this day (2009) has recorded a total of twelve albums. Two albums are certified gold and seven are certified
platinum or higher. She has more than thirty singles and her biggest hit "I Love You," in 1999, spent 5 weeks at number #1
on the country charts. Nicknamed the "Celine Dion of Country Music," McBride has sold over 16 million albums the most recent
of which is "Martina McBride: Live In Concert" in 2008. And she did recive a honorable assignment when she in February 2009
sings together with other world famous artists at the official ceremony where United States President Barack H. Obama II
is sworn in as the 44-th President of The United States of America.
