Evolution

About

Evolution was the fourth album released by Martina McBride. It is one of her biggest selling albums to date being certified 3× Multi-platinum. It included the hit singles "Happy Girl", "A Broken Wing" and "Valentine", the latter of which became her first single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as her first major crossover hit. The song "I'm Little But I'm Loud" is a recording of McBride when she was seven years old, while "Valentine" is a re-recording of a song which Brickman and McBride previously released from his 1997 album Picture Thi. The original Picture This version charted at #3 on the AC charts and #68 on the country chart, while the re-recording featured here was a Top Ten country hit. Also released from this album was "Still Holding On", a duet with Clint Black, which was concurrently released on Black's 1997 album Nothin' but the Taillight. "Valentine", "Happy Girl", "Wrong Again", and "Whatever You Say" were all released as singles as well. Track listing 1. "I'm Little But I'm Loud" (Little Jimmy Dicken, Boudleaux Bryant) – 0:56 2.
