QUOTES

"I really just tried to make a record full of great songs, which is the goal I always have," McBride says. "From a production standpoint, I really wanted it to be warm and to sound more like an old vinyl record as opposed to really clean, pristine and digital."

"The thing is, I just love where I am right now in my career," she says. "I love country music. I don't ever feel restricted by the genre. I've been able to have a solid career that we've built one step at a time and a family. I know that I'm in a good place.

"I definitely feel a difference about my place in the industry," she says. "I feel like I have some longevity now. We've established a place. When I compare to Reba, it's such a complement but I feel I have so far to go. Reba's career is such an example in longevity and consistency-- making music that is accepted and successful, and having a track record. I do look to Reba as a role-model of someone who has longevity, handled her career with class, and gained the respect of her fans, the industry, and her peers. We all want to be Reba when we grow up!"
