These aren't my songs. My intention wasn't to make them Martina McBride songs.

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot

My dad was a huge country music fan, but he also had a band and he sang. So he'd listen to a lot of music and the songs that he'd learn for the band were more from the male artists. So my earliest country memories were Waylon Jennings, Conway Twitty, George Jones, Johnny Paycheck even.

The thing about my fridge is, it's a family fridge, so there's a little of something everybody likes in there.

I was always into music. And none of my friends were really into music the same way I was. So it was just different. It was really not very well understood by most of my friends. They didn't tease me about it - they just didn't really relate.

I like the creativity of planning a party, or cooking and taking care of people, creating a memorable meal or event.
