1. The Loudest Country Band
Written by Martha and her producer, Phil York - this is a fast, dance-able country song which should be a major hit. Its strong radio appeal and upbeat style will also play well live and in clubs - a fun and exciting song!

2. River of Tears
Martha wrote the lyrics and music to this one with a tape recorder! Martha "was in love with a man in Louisiana, and we had just broken up. I blew the motor up in east Texas on the way home...the next morning I woke up with River of Tears running through my head...grabbed a recorder and sang it...when 1 sang the song months later for Phil (York) he knew it was a hit!"

3. If You Don't Want Us
Martha was inspired to write this song when she was listening to a call-in radio show. Listen closely to the lyrics and you'll know the story!

4. Patsy Come Home
This is the first song Martha wrote in Nashville! She worked with talented, award - winning composer, Ron DiIulio to compose the strong, emotional music, which has an edgy feel. Listen for Gary Hogue's steel guitar and Jimmy Belkin's crying fiddle...this song will raise a goosebump or two!

5. Wanderin' Shoes
Another upbeat song Martha co-wrote with Phil York. This one is a lot of fun, with clever lines and an interesting perspective expressed in the 'bridge' of the song. Based on a true story!

6. Teach Me the Steps
Martha's close friend Vanna Walker was talking with her about men, and said "Why don't people just tell each other what they are looking for, instead of playing games? Then they could spend their time getting to know each other without dancing around their feelings. You should write a song about that!" Martha did just that, and Phil York worked with her on some lovely music for this beautiful waltz.

7. Joke
Upbeat and fun, with an attitude. Most women listeners will swear they've known this guy!

8. Passionate Blue
Phil York co-wrote this song with Ron DiIulio. Martha heard the song when she was recording her first album, "That Flame Keeps Burning", and just loved it! After re-working parts of the lyrics, Martha recorded this song and released it. The response has been so good that she decided to include the song on her new album. A haunting steel part was added, and the song was remixed. Both versions of the song are distinct and both are beautiful but Martha prefers the new one!

9. I'm Scared of Making Memories Today
A very commercial song that makes you want to dance! Well constructed, with strong lyrics and music that just works perfectly. The mood is upbeat, and this one will definitely make a memory for the listener!

10. Eighty Miles an Hour
A few years ago, Martha gave Phil York some song lyrics she had written. Among them was a song she titled "Seventy Miles an Hour" Phil re-wrote the song...and when Martha heard the changes he made, she knew it lust had to be "Eighty Miles an Hour" The first time you listen to this song, you are in for a surprise ending...better not be doing anything technical at the time!!

11. Take Good Care of My Heart
The title cut of this album. Martha really did write this song while she was in a plane...her friend Vanna's Bonanza, to be exact! Martha worked with Ron DiIulio on the music, and together they have written what should be a giant hit. Martha's duet with the beautiful, velvet voiced Christy Struble truly sets this song firmly in mind as one you'll want to hear again and again! Many listeners are singing along with this one by the second chorus!

This album is a very listenable, well thought out effort by an artist whose down to earth, warm personality wins her fans even before they hear her songs! We wish her every success, and we believe she will go all the way to the top!
