Featured Artist 3/2/10: Mindy McCready
Malinda Gayle “Mindy” McCready (born November 30, 1975) is an American country music singer. Active since 1996, she has recorded a total of four studio albums. Her debut album, 1996’s Ten Thousand Angels, was released on BNA Records and was certified 2× Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, while 1997’s If I Don’t Stay the Night was certified gold. Overall, McCready’s four studio albums have accounted for twelve singles on the Billboard country singles charts. This figure includes the Number One hit “Guys Do It All the Time“, as well as the Top Ten hits “Ten Thousand Angels” and “A Girl’s Gotta Do (What a Girl’s Gotta Do).”
Even though her life has been littered with challenges and heartbreak, Mindy has kept on her path of making music. And her new album title suggests that very thing… I’m Still Here is expected to be on store shelves march 23, 2010. Mindy’s latest brush with fame resembles that of legends like Cash, Paycheck and Jones—not a bad fraternity. To survive and rise-up from the bottom to regain her place in country music will make a Cinderella story impact…and we may once again see Mindy McCready at the top of her game.
This year marks Mindy McCready’s triumphant return to her first love, music. After an eight-year recording hiatus, McCready unveils I’M STILL HERE. The album contains 13 tracks: nine new cuts (McCready has three co-writes), an acoustic “By Her Side,” her dramatic rendition of “The Dance” and modernized versions of her hits, “Guys Do It All The Time” and “Ten Thousand Angels.” A musical portrait of inner strength and intimacy, I’M STILL HERE is McCready’s welcomed homecoming.
