Tomorrow Seems Bright with Evans Present CD.......2006-07-21

Prime Cuts: Too Many Tears Too Late, Middle of Nowhere, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Looks can be deceiving. With its amateurish CD sleeve artwork and the far from the recherché Vogue-worthy Faith-Hill million-dollar pose, it is easy to dismiss Sara Evans' debut CD. However, this shoddy-looking album encases a superb collection of songs rich in character detail drawn from mining the deep recesses of the heart. Traditional purists have much to holler about as Susan Evans is a torch singer of the Tammy Wynette persuasion where she nurses the broken heart in the sonic cradle of fiddle, guitar and mandolin. What makes these songs so compelling is the import of songwriter Carl Jackson whose scribal portfolio include Trisha Yearwood's "Lonesome Dove," Patty Loveless' "You Don't Know How Lucky You Are," Diamond Rio's "Closer to the Edge" among others. Here, Jackson dips his pen for 7 whooping cuts most of which are co-writes with other luminaries such as Suzy Bogguss, Jim Weatherly, Curtis Wright and Irene Kelley.

As aforementioned, "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow" is leaven with forlorn and lacerating songs. Among those that bear Jackson's fingerprints, "Too Many Tears too Late," is a mournful ballad with Evans giving her paramour the brush off after numerous disappointments and false hopes. Continuing the theme of despair though with a more assertive beat, "You Don't the Meaning of the Word," a co-write of Jackson with Curtis Wright, finds a despondent Evans lamenting over her man's distorted view of romance. Finding solace in the mournful sounds of the fiddle, "In Love" has a bittersweet bite as the protagonist wallows in self-pity at her hubby's departure. While "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow," the title cut is a gorgeous piano ballad in the Lorrie-Morgan tradition. Here Evans longs for brighter days ahead in the aftermath of a doleful past.

Of the non-Jackson cuts, Bobbie Cryner, the writer of Trisha Yearwood's "Real Live Woman" has two entries. First of which is the melancholic ballad "Middle of Nowhere" which brilliantly coaxes the broken heart to confide its deepest pain. While the other Cryner input is the rollicking "I'm Gonna Get You Back" that bolsters an evocative Cajun tinge set at a bullet-speed pace. While Kostas' "He's Your Problem Now" with its irresistible hook is the album most commercial track.

Overall, these songs cut through the carapace of those non-descript love songs that never get pass beyond the obvious. Rather, thanks in part to Evans' seasoned nuances, these paeans address the issues of the heart with verve, reality and sensitivity. If there is any quibble, one would wish that with her sophomore effort Evans would treat us to a love gone right ballad or two. Nevertheless, Evans' veneration for country past manifest through this present CD ought to pave a sturdy road of success for tomorrow.
