Free Music Notes for Restless
Free Music Review: Beautiful Voice, Ordinary Material
Hit: 4 Stars
The 2003 release from former Missouri farm girl Sara Evans contiunes her pop/country departure from her first two records like her most recent, Born To Fly. This CD features a theme of maturing, spreading your wings, especially on cuts like "Suds in the Bucket" and "Backseat of a Greyhound Bus." I like "Suds" and the other hit, "Perfect," but I love "Niagara," a fun, contemporary song typical of Sara's new material. Don't expect "Crying Game" or "Three Chords" from her earlier efforts, but Sara sounds like she know what she's doing.
I wish Sara would stretch her voice and let it fly, so to speak. Also, I'm not in love with the direction this CD's taking, but her beautiful, eloquent voice overcomes sometimes pedestrian material. Sara walks the tightrope between country tradition and mainstream accessibility, but I wouldn't call this a sellout. I believe an artist can be successful and maintain integrity;check out Lee Ann Womack. She's a complete throwback and unapolegetic about it. I love Sara's voice; she only needs the right material to express her gift properly. Recommended to any fan of new country.
Restless Poster
Sara Evans's 2000 effort, the platinum-selling Born to Fly, put her in the front ranks of the most promising of modern country singer-songwriters. As a woman with a strong traditional background, she found a way to marry contemporary sounds and sensibilities with her bedrock country and bluegrass history, and, with the help of producer Paul Worley, delivered a complete, believable, and very fetching record. But Restless sounds as if she and Worley just went in and cut a passel of songs. A lot of them carry a message of hope, of making "something magic out of something frightening," as she sings in "Rockin' Horse," one of five tracks she co-wrote. But most of them just sound as if she had getting on radio more in mind than anything else. It's hard to tell if the album doesn't know what it wants to be, or if it's Evans who's confused. Worley over-produced the majority of it with unnecessary layers and busy arrangements, and the repertoire ranges all over the place, from an awful attempt at swaggering R&B ("Big Cry") to the hay-bale-and-pickup milieu of "Suds in the Bucket." While the languid and affecting "Backseat of a Greyhound Bus" sticks in the memory and the sensual "Otis Redding" gets the hormones charged, too many of the songs just roll by. Evans remains a wonder of a singer, however, whether she's projecting her clearer pop voice or calling on the nasality of her Missouri barn-dance-and-bluegrass training, something in too short supply on this uneven effort. --Alanna NashCountry Music CDs
