Classic Album Review-Martina McBride “Wild Angels”
From 1995, we take a look back at what was Martina McBride's third release, “Wild Angels”. Martina had received critical acclaim with her first two efforts, “Time Has Come” and “The Way That I Am”, and this album continued that string of strong efforts, arguably being her best album to that point, and frankly, it could be arguably her best album, overall.

Classic Album Review-Tennessee Ernie Ford “Everything Is Beautiful”
By 1970, Tennessee Ernie Ford was still a force in the gospel music field. However, as a country and pop singer, his days as a hit maker were gone. He hadn't seen the pop top forty, since “In The Middle Of An Island” in 1957, while country-wise, he'd charted only once, since 1956, a top ten hit, “Hicktown”, in 1965.
