But empathy is probably the most important element of any good artist. First of all you have to be selfless, there's a fine line between being confident and knowing where the music can and maybe should go. So I do my best to do both all the time.īaltin: I started thinking about someone like a Carlos Santana or a Tom Morello, both of whom are amazing at collaboration and I wonder if it's something that applies to just people who are really open to the art of collaboration in general. They know what their role is in the picture, but they know what the big picture looks like. But I do feel like most good musicians try not to just focus on their part, but they also try to see the big picture. But, yeah, there are moments when I look at music or when I listen to music and it might take me some time to sort of absorb it so I know what proper decisions to make. First of all, I'm not sure if he was entirely accurate about that. I don't know if all jazz musicians have that. McBride: Well, Pat was very kind in those words.
Would you say that's true of all great jazz musicians? Sage Bava: I read in the New York Times article, Pat Metheny said, you just have this knowing and going off this trail of thought that we're on. But, when you've played together pretty regularly for as long as we've played together, I can't put my finger on when that happened, but it certainly has happened. Sometimes it's instantaneous, sometimes it takes a few years. With some people it takes longer than others. I don't know when that happens, but yeah, at some point, just like you are with a person, you develop a friendship, you develop a relationship, and you feel what the other person's going to do.

"She Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" (Walt Aldridge, Anna Lisa Graham)ġ0.Baltin: So were there moments on the record early on where you realized that you had found that groove? "Goin' to Work" (Bill Lloyd, Pam Tillis)ħ. "Where I Used to Have a Heart" (Craig Bickhardt)Ħ. "That Wasn't Me" (Gary Harrison, Tim Mensy)ĥ. "Heart Trouble" (written by Paul Kennerley)ģ. Martina McBride, The Way That I Am Track List:ġ. Persistence, substance, a best-in-class voice, and a healthy dose of real-life all came to define McBride's breakthrough and her decades-long career since.Īfter all, it's just the way she is. Now, it's rightly recognized as one of the greatest country songs of all time. McBride's persistence - and undeniable talent - kept the single from being stifled. Country radio programmers were uncomfortable playing a song in which domestic abuse was met with retaliation. Yet upon its initial release, the country star had to fight for fans to be able to hear it. Today, "Independence Day" is one of McBride's most revered tracks, if not her career-defining song.
