ON SALE: Friday, August 20, 2021, at 10:00AM Over the last two decades, Sara Evans has carved a successful career anchored by her insightful songwriting and warm, evocative voice. With such enduring hits as "Suds in the Bucket," "A Real Fine Place to Start," "Perfect" and "A Little Bit Stronger," she's earned recognition as the fifth most played female artist at country radio and continues to be a force on the road with tour dates criss-crossing the country. Released in 2020, on her ninth studio album, Copy That, the Missouri native serves up an eclectic bounty of songs that have shaped her life and storied career. "I've always put cover songs on my records just because I think they are so fun. My fans have been asking for a covers record for years and now just seemed like the right time," says Evans, who has always been a champion for great songwriting and has covered Gavin DeGraw, Radney Foster and others on previous records. "We first started out thinking we'd really change some of the songs, but then every time we started to record it we were like, 'That part is so good, let's just do that!' We wanted to honor those songwriters and musicians and say, 'What you did on this record was amazing. Now we're just going to make it a little more modern.'" On Copy That, Sara shines a spotlight on songs that have served as the soundtrack for the American experience for the last six decades. Little Big Town's Phillip Sweet joins Evans for a buoyant rendition of the Stevie Nicks and Kenny Loggins classic "Whenever I Call You Friend" and Old Crow Medicine Show adds their unique flavor to the Hank Williams standard "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." Her cover of Dexy's Midnight Runners' 1982 hit "Come On Eileen" is absolutely infectious and her pulsating rendition of The Knack's "My Sharona" shows a rockin' side of Evans rarely heard.
