Martina McBride

No one does it better than our country artists.

To boil Brett James down to any two or three songs would be lazy, insincere and just plane rude.

Lauren Alaina has Martina McBride to thank for helping her navigate the tough days of early motherhood.

When it comes to breakups, country women do it different.

Songs by Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire and Patsy Cline are just the beginning of this tear-jerking list.

Let's go girls!

This list is a celebration of so many country music eras.

On Jan. 10, 1998, McBride soared to No. 1 with "A Broken Wing."

This list of 11 country stars who don't write their own songs includes four Hall of Famers and two more who are real close.

Whether they're sad, spooky or just make you think, these country music videos will give you chills.

Released in 1993, Martina McBride's sophomore album 'The Way That I Am' skyrocketed the country star's career.

On March 2. 1996, McBride earned her first No. 1 hit, with "Wild Angels," the title track of her third studio album.

Can you believe it?!

The hair was big, the sound was iconic, and artists such as Faith Hill and George Strait were tearing up the airwaves.

It was a stunner.

Late this summer, Lauren Alaina is taking roads traveled, and less traveled for her first headlining tour, which includes one New England stop.
