Sara Evans Remains Faithful to Christmas Tunes

Posted: December 23rd, 2009 at 3:08 pm  |  By: Craig Shelburne  

Dipping into a variety of musical styles, Sara Evans delivers three of the most revered seasonal selections on her new EP, I'll Be Home for Christmas. The title track reminds me of a slinky jazz tune while she significantly slows down "O Come All Ye Faithful" for a somber rendition. Meanwhile, "Go Tell It on the Mountain" falls somewhere between country and gospel, which complements the imagery in the song comfortably. The final track, "New Again," will be familiar to those who bought the soundtracks to The Passion of the Christ movie earlier in the decade, and as a conclusion to the four-song sampler, this duet with Brad Paisley is a fitting reminder about that first Christmas. Does anybody else out there have a new Sara Evans album on their wish list for 2010?

    I do not have a new Sara Evans album on my wish list for 2010. She is done. A has been. She is no longer relevant.

    Sara looks amazing on the cover of that album! And I do wish for Sara Evans to have a long and successful career. She’s a good singer and a very loving and caring person.

    A new album from Sara is very high on my wish list - I love Sara, and her music, and cannot wait to hear what she puts out next.

    She is my favorite country singer. Her next album isn’t on my wish list, it is on my ‘definitely buy’ list!
