A companion piece to Timeless, Martina McBride’s 2005 collection of country covers, Everlasting finds the Kansas-bred singer moving away from her signature Nashville sound with a well-chosen selection of vintage soul and rock favourites. McBride infuses the breakup anthem “If You Don’t Know Me By Now” and the Memphis deep-soul classic “Do Right Woman, Do Right Man” with bluesy appeal. Her take on “Suspicious Minds” has a seductive melancholy, while a more upbeat side emerges on a flirty version of the Supremes classic “Come See About Me”.
