5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Incredible, August 18, 2001

This incredible album almost leaves me speechless. Every single song is just terrific; I have never heard an album that is this consistently good from start to finish. I have only recently discovered Sara Evans, so I am hearing all of these songs for the first time. Maybe if I had heard a song or two on the radio before buying the CD, I would not be so amazed by her voice, but somehow I doubt that. I'm sort of going about this thing backwards--I started with Born to Fly and then I quickly moved to purchase this album. I still haven't heard the first album, but I will be buying it very soon.

It is a joy to hear lyrics that are not only discernible but also so emotional and powerful. Whether it is fast or slow, each song seems to really mean something and to actually affect me in some way. "The Knot Comes Untied" is a particularly moving song, as are "No Place That Far" and "Time Won't Tell." "Love, Don't Be A Stranger" and "The Great Unknown," while faster paced, also speak to universal themes like love, discontent, and hope in effective ways. Being a fan of "real," old-timey country music, I especially like the songs on the second half of the album, songs like "These Days" and "Cupid." "Cupid" is the real gem of the collection for me; featuring George Jones, this is country music at its best: "twangin' and sangin.'"

I don't really listen to country music, so I feel very fortunate indeed to have discovered Sara Evans. As many fans as she must have already, I have to believe that there are untold numbers of people in the world who would love this music but who may never be lucky enough to be introduced to it. If you're reading this review and wondering if you should take a chance on buying this CD, let me urge you to buy it. This is a voice that can touch your very soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Song is Bad on "No Place That Far", September 23, 2000

Sara Evans clearly displays her versatile singing style on this album. From emotion packed ballads like "No Place That Far" and "Time Won't Tell" to the more lighthearted "The Great Unknown" and "Fool, I'm a Woman", Sara touches a spot in the hearts of many. "No Place..." is especially recommended to those with a newly broken heart. I found that it's an excellent source of strength to get through the day when "memories are like mountains and each one gets harder to climb". "No Place That Far" is definitely Sara's breakthrough album. Her new and upcoming album, "Born To Fly" should exceed the success of "No Place That Far"--based on the first single, "Born To Fly". It's a great song!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Both very good and somewhat disappointing, August 17, 2000

The above sentence seems contradictory, so I will explain. I absolutely love Sara's first album, Three Chords and the Truth. I like it both because it is very well done and because it is very traditional country; a very rare combination in modern music. I was very disappointed in this album (at least the first half) the first time I heard it. Sara has obviously made her music more pop-ish to make it more appealing to a wider audience and to country radio. I like the second half of the album much better, which has a couple of great traditional songs (These Days and Cupid are out of this world!). After listening to the CD a couple of times the first half of it grew on me; it's not very traditional, but it is good music. I am sure that Sara is under pressure to record pop flavored, radio friendly music, but I hope she will at least keep recording some traditional songs too. There are dozens of singers who consistently produce good pop-country but so very few who produce great traditional country the way that Sara can.
