Sara Evans No Place That Far Country Music CD Review

I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with No Place That Far. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Sara Evans's most impressive releases ever.

If you're even mildly into Country music you'll enjoy this CD. Overall No Place That Far is an a great release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 1 - The Great Unknown, track 7 - The Knot Comes Untied, and track 11 - There's Only One.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 4 - I Thought I'd See Your Face. Good stuff!
