Burnin' Up the Road is the debut album of American country music band McBride & the Ride. Released in 1991 on MCA Records, it was produced by Tony Brown and Steve Fishell. The lead-off single, "Felicia", peaked at no. 74 on the RPM country charts in Canada but did not chart in the US. Following this song was "Every Step of the Way" which failed to chart. The third and fourth singles, "Can I Count on You" and "Same Ol' Star", peaked at no. 15 and no. 28 respectively on the Billboard country charts in the US. "Every Step of the Way" was also made into the band's first music video.
