Multi-platinum entertainer Sara Evans is at the top of her game. As the fifth most-played female artist at country radio in nearly the last two decades - her five No. 1 singles include "No Place That Far," "Suds In The Bucket," "A Real Fine Place To Start," "Born to Fly," and "A Little Bit Stronger."Several of those No. 1's spent two weeks in the top spot and were certified platinum by the R.I.A.A. Overall, she's had 15 songs chart in the Top 20.
Sara continues to thrill audiences around the world, playing over 70 shows each year. Sara's "stunning, country voice" (Rolling Stone) has earned her the prestigious Academy of Country Music Top Female Vocalist accolade, as well as numerous American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, Country Music Association, CMT, and Grammy Awards nominations.
In addition, the CMA awarded Video of the Year honors for her hit chart-topping single, "Born to Fly," from her double-platinum album of the same name. Evans' discography also includes the multi-platinum selling studio albums Real Fine Place and Restless, as well as the gold-certified projects Stronger and No Place That Far.
Evans is also a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry.
This year, Sara launched her podcast "Diving In Deep" and has had a wide array of guests featured on the show, including Crystal Gayle, Bill Anderson, Martina McBride, Ernest, and many more.
In addition to a prolific country music career, Sara has been honored for her philanthropic work and in 2018 was presented the NAB Education Foundation's Service To America Leadership Award.
That wanderlust was evident on Ledbetter Heights, and Shepherd revisits the 12-song collection with gusto on this faithful re-recording. The perceivable differences between the albums are a refined musicality evident in the arrangements, and the more nuanced and intentional guitar playing, though the fire still rages - check out the bluesy bluster on the opener, "Born with a Broken Heart." Only one track, "Riverside," deviates significantly. Slowed down and smokier, it brings a quiet fire vibe not found in the 1995 version. In addition, fans will no doubt enjoy hearing longtime Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band co-vocalist Noah Hunt sing these songs. Noah has been with Shepherd for 28 years and has sung on every other album. This completes the sonic circle.
A Red Cross ambassador, Sara received the national Crystal Cross Award for her work with the disaster-relief organization and has helped raise funds for the CMA Foundation. A longtime supporter of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Sara continues to support the hospital as a cause dear to her heart.
