Content

[edit]

The track "A Real Fine Place to Start" was co-written by Radney Foster, who previously recorded it for his 2002 album Another Way to Go. Evans's rendition of the song was released as this album's first single and became her fourth number one hit on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in mid-2005. Also released as singles from this album were "Cheatin'", "Coalmine", and "You'll Always Be My Baby", which respectively reached numbers 9, 37, and 13 on the country charts. "Missing Missouri" also reached number 52 based on unsolicited airplay. Several members of Evans's family sing backing vocals: her mother and father, Patricia Boggs, and Jack Evans; her brother, Matt Evans, who also serves as production assistant; and her sisters, Lesley Evans Lyons and Ashley Evans Simpson.[3]

"Supernatural" was originally recorded by Susan Ashton on her 1999 album Closer.
