Inspirational power ballads with soaring harmonies dominate the ninth album by this veteran Texas quartet. Whether singing of the everyday, character-building challenges faced by ordinary folks in the title track, celebrating the comforts of domestic bliss in “Nothing to Prove,” or thanking a higher power in “Hey God,” much of the material has a thematic uplift that matches the music. Two of the songs, “Long Lost Smile” and “What She Had to Do,” tell the story of a heroic woman who runs away from an abusive or neglectful relationship. Yet the band shows a sexier side with the double entendre of “Cowboy Girl,” the sensual “One of Those Nights,” and the steamy “Careful Where You Kiss Me.” While songs name-check rock idols like Van Morrison and Bob Seger, the closing “Always in the Band” makes Lonestar sound more like the Journey of contemporary country. –Don McLeese

Martina McBride has long been a champion of music as social consciousness, particularly for abused women (”Independence Day”) and children. On Waking Up Laughing, her ninth album and the follow-up to Timeless, her platinum-selling album of country classics, she advances the theme while expanding it. While two songs explore the issue of unwed mothers (particularly the exquisite “Love Land,” which closes the album), and another, “Beautiful Again,” touches on child sexual abuse, her overall repertoire embraces the wholeness of family, and of standing strong together in the face of adversity and defeat. Musically, McBride has always proved to be an elegant thorn–her song selection is often inspired (and here, she co-wrote three tunes, including the skyscraping single “Anyway”), but she has tended to use her huge, ride-the-wave soprano full-tilt, without employing the subtle shadings that would make her even more emotionally resonant. On Waking Up Laughing she seems to have worked on the problem, yet in her second foray as solo producer, she still tends to gild the lily instrumentally–inflating string bridges between choruses, for example, or loading the opening country-pop track, “If I Had Your Name,” with a Southern-rock guitar break, a listen-to-me fiddle showcase, a Celtic guitar intro, and a close that brings to mind George Harrison’s sitar in play-it-backward mode. That said, she makes fine use of what sounds like a black female choir on the uplifting “For These Times,” and wisely keeps the haunting break-up ballad “Tryin’ to Find a Reason” (with Keith Urban’s harmony vocals and guitar solo) lean and affecting. As McBride works to refine her pastiche of creativity, commerciality, and social awareness, she slyly takes more chances than one might think, all the while rallying old fans and making new ones. –Alanna Nash
