Sara Evans
 Sara Evans was born in Boonville, Missouri of English and Irish descent. By five she was singing every weekend in her family's band. At age eight, she was struck by an automobile in front of the family home, and both her legs suffered multiple fractures. Recuperating for months in a wheelchair, she continued singing to help pay her medical bills.
In 1997, Evans released her first album, Three Chords and the Truth. Critics praised the album for returning to traditional country and included it in many of their year's 'top 10' lists. In 1998 Evans released her second album, No Place That Far. Critics slammed her on choosing a more pop-country sound.
Her first single, Cryin' Game, hardly made a ripple on the charts, but it was her next single, No Place That Far, a duet with Vince Gill, that would be her first No. 1 single. The album has since been certified gold.
In 2007, Evans released her first Greatest Hits collection, featuring four new songs. ~ Wikipedia
