Sara Evans is a study in contrasts: a smooth-skinned looker hailed by People magazine as one of the world?s most beautiful people yet one who travels with her three kids; the wife of a politician who prefers farm life to dwelling in a capital city; and a deeply spiritual woman with an occasionally bawdy sense of humor. Accompanying her personal dichotomies, Evans? recording career has traveled a wide course: She was hailed as a country traditionalist when she made her recording debut in 1997 but freely explored pop and rock influences in her ensuing albums. She clearly knew what she was doing: Her Born To Fly CD earned an Album of the Year nomination from the Country Music Association, and her Restless project garnered a similar nod from the Academy of Country Music. With Real Fine Place, she assimilates the components of her multi-faceted personality and musical influences in a package that still manages an impressive consistency. She turned to several pop and rock figures?picking up a song from Sheryl Crow and nabbing the drummer and bass player who appeared on John Mayer?s pop albums?but tackles some of the countriest sounds of her career with the quirky ?Coalmine? and the sassy ?Cheatin?.? Thematically, she recognizes the attraction of the spotlight in ?Roll Me Back? and ?These Four Walls? while celebrating the detail of ordinary existence in ?Missing Missouri? and ?New Hometown.? And she explores independence in the brassy ?Momma?s Night Out? while embracing intimacy in the communicative ?Tell Me? and the sexual ?Secrets That We Keep.? It?s a complex account of 21 st century womanhood held together by the ultra-feminine?and ultra-confident?voice of Sara Evans. ?This album really takes me back to my roots,? Evans beams. ?When I listen to it, it makes me happier than anything I?ve done in a long time.? Coming from many performers, that might sound like the latest round of self-promotion. But Evans is a unique combination of dogged perfectionism and surprising frankness?she wouldn?t say it if she didn?t truly mean it.
