Someone above stated it perfectly, the more I am forced to learn about Sara Evans’ personal life, the less I enjoy her music. I’m not just talking about the divorce but also about her and her new hubby and their frequent interviews about being celebate until marriage and then this mediocre song being released from an old album right after she gets married, complete with spreads in People, Country Weekly, etc. Then she also continues to pop up on my television in annoying forms — HGTV, some gameshow I saw advertising her as a guest, multiple in-depth up-close interviews on all the country channels. I don’t know. I realize that’s part of the game, but as a married mother now who was once a child of divorce myself (and no matter how common it is, it is still gutwrenching for kids), I always feel for her children having to endure all her personal business so publicly. Songs like this, which despite whether or not they were recorded with the intent, ending up being released to look like a celebration of her newfound happiness and sex with her husband is just unappealing to me.

That was way too much said for the fact that I, too, think Sara’s voice was unique and just wish she was more interested in developing artistically instead of being a media celebrity.

what’s wrong with a good story based on love and passion – two motifs that should never be underestimated. isn’t it a much better approach than just cynically thinking the label wanted her to do something “carry-style” because that’s what’s selling best at the moment.
