The craving for nostalgia has seldom been as great as in the early years of this millennium. Like so many other artists, country singer Martina McBride takes up this with an album full of songs from past times. McBride, one of the leading ladies of the country scene today, sings versions of well-known classics like I Can't Stop Loving You (Don Gibson), Rosegarden (Lynn Anderson) and Help Me Make It
… Through The Night (Kris Kristofferson ) alongside work by legends like Hank Williams, Ernest Tubb, Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Buddy Holly and Dwight Yoakam. Dolly Parton even sings along on I Still Miss Someone. Fortunately there is no production-wise attempt to create a modern sound. On the contrary, these recordings could also have been made in the fifties, sixties or seventies, the time when these songs became known. Timeless is a loving tribute to the roots of the country by one of the best country singers of the moment. A feast of recognition for everyone who cares about this music. (MS)more
