Cynics might suggest that pop-country star Martina McBride`s greatest assets are here pearly whites and piercing blue eyes. Those who`ve followed the trajectory of McBride`s career (a decade and six albums at the time of this compilation`s release) know that the real reasons for her success are a set of super-strong pipes and a knack for picking material from some of Nashville`s most hit-bound songwriters. One of those writers, Gretchen Peters, provided McBride with a signature song early on, in the form of "Independence Day," a bold narrative that deals unflinchingly with spousal abuse.
To her credit, McBride didn`t try to repeat that song`s success by becoming Nashville`s poster girl for social causes. The rest of the songs on GREATEST HITS cover a variety of topics, but mostly center around the timeless biggies like celebration of love ("My Baby Loves Me"), glory of God (the previously unreleased "Blessed"), and surviving doomed relationships ("Broken Wing"). With its all-encompassing coverage of McBride`s career highlights and its bevy of never-before-heard songs, GREATEST HITS is the definitive introduction to McBride`s career.
