Her discography consists of six studio albums, four compilation albums, one multi-artist collaborative album and twenty-four singles. Of her singles, five have reached Number One on the Hot Country Songs charts: "No Place That Far" in 1999, "Born to Fly" in 2001, "Suds in the Bucket" in 2004, "A Real Fine Place to Start" in 2005, and "A Little Bit Stronger" in 2011. Besides these songs, four other singles have reached Top Ten.
Evans signed with RCA Nashville Records in 1996, after her rendition for Buck Owens's "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail" caught the attention of its songwriter, Harlan Howard. In July 1997, she released her debut album, Three Chords and the Truth.[1] The album did not gain much success, as its three singles released did not reach the Top 40 on the country chart between 1997 and 1998. In 1998, she released her second album, No Place That Far, which did not become successful until the release of its second single, the title track (which featured Vince Gill). The song reached #1 on the Billboard Country Chart, and its second single "Fool, I'm a Woman" placed in the Top 40.
In 2000, she recorded her breakout album, Born to Fly,[1] which certified "2× multi-platinum" in sales. The title track became Evans's second #1 single, and also reached the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single's success on radio helped Evans's other singles from the album reach the Top 10 and 20: "I Could Not Ask for More" (a cover of the Top 40 Pop hit by Edwin McCain), "Saints & Angels," and "I Keep Looking." Her fourth album, Restless was released in 2003 which included Top 5 hit, "Perfect" and her third #1 hit, "Suds in the Bucket." In 2005 she released her fifth studio effort, Real Fine Place whose lead single, "A Real Fine Place to Start" became Evans's fourth #1 single and further two singles, "Cheatin'," and "You'll Always Be My Baby" were also major hits. The album gained some of the highest reviews of her career[2] and was certified "Platinum."
In October 2007, Evans released her first Greatest Hits album. In 2009, Evans returned to the studio to record her sixth studio album, Stronger, which was released on March 8, 2011.[3] During the course of her career, four out of Evans' six albums have been certified "Gold" or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America, selling nearly five million records in the United States.[4]
