Martina McBride has been a performer ever since she was a child, touring with her musical family, a la The Partridge Family. But all those years on the road obviously came in handy, because on her sophomore album, THE WAY THAT I AM, McBride exudes the vocal confidence of a pro.

If this album was her breakthrough, then the bouncy, infectious pop ditty, "My Baby Loves Me," was her smash-through single. She followed it up with the urgent "Life #9" and anthemic "Independence Day," her assertive stance on abuse. The opening rockabilly "Heart Trouble" offers the proper introduction to the nice acoustic edge permeating the album.

Vocally potent throughout, McBride glides through rock, pop, ballad, rockabilly, and blues. If there are any doubts about McBride's vocal stylings, check out the bluesy ballad "Where I Used To Have A Heart." Without knowing, it could easily be mistaken for early Bonnie Raitt.

This is not a country album; it's a pop album with a slight Kansas accent. On THE WAY THAT I AM, the way that McBride is -- strong voiced, pretty (she has those piercing blue eyes), and in full control of her music -- is just right.
