CD ReviewsMcBride is a Keeper John Carroll | Alpharetta, GA USA | 09/09/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "Mary McBride picks up right where she left off on her last album-the excellent Everything Seemed Alright. She's gotta crack band and production that basically stays out of the way and lets this expressive woman sing. The voice is very good, but not great. However, she's got something rare which is awesome phrasing. Kinda like Sinatra had in the late 50's and Ronnie Van Zandt had in the 70's. It isn't so much the tone as it the way she says what she says. It's done with conviction and it really draws you in. Listen to One-Eyed dog and you are in that crappy bar. Stop Don't Stop resonates with a nervous energy that only comes from the insecurity of love. The real masterpiece on this record is her reading of the Terry Anderson/Dan Baird song Bottle & a Bible. She turns a swaggering honky tonk rock song into a gospel like confessional. Sorry guys, you just lost your song. Ms. McBride owns this song now. Only reason I didn't give it five stars is because she included That was Then again. Great song, but don't need a song from the first album on this one. Mary McBride is somebody to keep an eye on. She's awesome!" Smart Alt-Country Rock and Roll Christopher Lehmann | Philadelphia, PA | 05/25/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Mary McBride's second album is a wonderful follow-up to 2002's "Everything Seemed Alright." McBride's voice communicates the image-laden blues behind her lyrics perfectly, and her band's sound just crackles behind her. If you like alt-country or good bluesy rock and roll, this album is a must-buy!" Wow!!! Amanda Ross | 04/28/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first saw Mary McBride at the Rodeo Bar in New York and was completely blown away. Her energy, powerful voice (wow!) and her incredible band got the entire place up and dancing but everyone¡¯s attention was still completely focused on Mary whose stage presence is amazing. I didn¡¯t think all of those qualities could translate to a CD but ¡°By Any Other Name¡± captures it all. The pulsing rock beat with a country tinge and her awesome original lyrics make Mary McBride one of the best musicians on the scene these days. My favorite (even though it¡¯s hard to choose) is the hard blasting ¡°Falling¡± ¨C a gritty story about the subways of New York ¨C that simply takes your breath away. And although I am not usually fan of ballads, the final cut¡°Simi-Star¡± is so beautiful and emotional it makes me think of old loves and lonely bus stations (and almost makes me cry). p.s. My friend who saw Mary McBride at Jazzfest in New Orleans told me Mary was a total star and that whenever she played she drew crowds away from all of the other the bands in the area. P.S. II ¨C I have never written a review on Amazon before!"
