A distaff country diehard during a time when they were quite rare around Nashville, Sara Evans gained her RCA contract in 1996 after her rendition of Buck Owens' perennial chestnut "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail" impressed its songster, Harlan Howard, so often he considered it his bound obligation to serve her. While maturation up poor in rural Missouri, Evans performed with her family's banding -- at the historic period of four -- and even recorded in Nashville several years by and by.


She finally marital and moved to Oregon in 1992, just continued to perform, as Sara Evans & North Santiam. The group opened for Willie Nelson and Tim McGraw, among others, just Evans finally returned to Nashville to attempt to remaking her career. There she impressed Howard enough to urge her to RCA executives, world Health Organization attached her with producer Pete Anderson (a veteran of many albums by Dwight Yoakam). After her debut album, Trey Chords & the Truth, was released in July 1997, Evans earned a special honour by being hand-picked by George Jones to open a special prove in Nashville. No Place That Far followed a year later, and in 2000 she resurfaced with Born to Fly. The rubric running was a bad hit for Evans, and the album eventually peaked in the Top Ten of Billboard's country charts. She followed that up with 2003's Unsatisfied, and returned in 2005 with the Top Ten tally Existent Fine Place.
