Sara Evans heads into fall with 'Greatest Hits'
Country songstress Sara Evans is celebrating 10 years in the music biz with a greatest-hits album and fall tour.
Last week, Evans launched a month-long trek of the eastern US that will continue Friday (10/26) in Pikeville, KY. The outing, sponsored by the new Chevy Malibu, will also feature Josh Turner, Luke Bryan and George Ducas on various dates. The itinerary is listed below; check local listings for specific opening acts for each show.
Evans spent the summer headlining shows across the country and appearing on Kenny Chesney's Flip Flop Summer Tour.
Her "Greatest Hits" album, which surfaced Oct. 9, comprises several No. 1 and Top 5 singles alongside four new songs. The collection debuted at No. 8 on The Billboard 200 and No. 4 on the Top Country Albums chart. Lead single "As If" has scored crossover success on country and pop radio, and is streaming at Evans' MySpace page.
The singer's last studio album, 2005's platinum-selling "Real Fine Place," rocketed to No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and spawned hit singles "Cheatin'," "You'll Always Be My Baby," "Coalmine" and the title track.
Last year, Evans teamed with "You'll Always Be My Baby" co-writers Tony Martin and Tom Shapiro to release a book based on the song. The performer deemed the project a thank you to fans for sticking by her during her much-publicized marital problems.
