2005年10月18日，乡村女歌手Martina McBride了个人第七张录音室专辑《Timeless》。专辑发行的首周以18万5千张的销量不仅获得乡村专辑榜的冠军，还在Billboard 200 专辑榜中成为本周的季军专辑。
专辑《Timeless》由Martina McBride本人担任制作人，而与此前发行过的专辑不同的是，Martina McBride这次在Timeless》中演唱的18首歌曲全部都是乡村音乐史上的经典作品，有约翰尼·卡什（Johnny Cash）的《I Still Miss Someone》，克里斯·克里斯托弗森（Kris Kristofferson）的《Help me Make it Through the Night》以及巴迪·霍利（Buddy Holly）和汉克·威廉姆斯（Hank Williams）的作品。
在谈到这张专辑的时候，Martina McBride说：“我每次听到这些音乐的时候，感觉都像回家一样。我制作这张专辑的时候根本没有考虑商业因素，仅仅是凭着对音乐的爱做出了这张《Timeless》。能演唱这些经典歌曲，我感到异常的自豪。我当然希望大家能够喜欢，但对我来说，我能做的就是尽我最大努力去演绎这些值得人尊敬的作品。”
《Timeless》是Martina McBride在金秋时节带给我们的一张出色的专辑。正如专辑的名字，优秀的艺术作品都是可以超越时间的，就坐下来慢慢的用心聆听这张“永恒”吧。
In paying tribute to her roots, Martina McBride doesn't merely cover a selection of classic country favorites, she conjures an entire era. You'd swear that was Floyd Cramer playing piano on the album-opening "You Win Again," and Chet Atkins picking guitar on the following "I'll Be There." The steel guitar featured so prominently throughout Timeless recalls a time when country sounded distinctly--and proudly--different from rock, while the background chorale on "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "Once a Day," as well as the soaring strings on "Rose Garden," remind one of the "countrypolitan" crossover sound.
Except for a delicate rendering of Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss Someone," McBride's versions don't really add anything to the originals, because these songs weren't missing anything. But she makes "I Don't Hurt Anymore" sound as fresh and pure as it did when Hank Snow recorded it more than a half-century ago, while her rendition of "Till I Can Make It on My Own" has all the brittle conviction that Tammy Wynette invested in it.
