Sara was born in Booneville, Missouri, the oldest girl of seven children. While growing up, she performed with her family at churches and festivals. In 1996, she auditioned for RLG chairman Joe Galante, and was offered a recording contract. She released her debut, "Three Chords & the Truth" in 1997, followed by "No Place That Far," and in 2000, "Born To Fly."
1. No Place That Far - Sara Evans
This album was Sara's second release, and the title track, a duet with Vince Gill became her first number one song. Again, Sara includes traditional songs, as she had on her first album, but also throws in a little contemporary sound for radio play, and the combination is a winner.
2. Three Chords and the Truth - Sara Evans
This is an absolutely spectacular country album. From the opening "True Lies" to the amazing, heart-searing closer, "The Week The River Raged," every moment of this album is pure excellence.
