Sara Evans: Stronger
Jun 18th, 2011 by gcunniff

“Sometime around 2005 Sara Evans took a turn toward the dark. [On "Stronger"] It’s made even more pungent by Ms. Evans’s singing, which is as sweet as it comes. Her voice is even keeled, not rough at the edges or squeezed tight in order to hit big notes. Every syllable sounds calm and considered…as her mood became blacker, it came off as a special sort of sinister. Yes, she was mad, and no, she wasn’t going to give you the pleasure of watching her sweat.” –The New York Times
