These are the musicians Evans believes are her biggest influences. In the mid 1990s, as the majority of aspiring country musicians switched to pop songs, Evans was a pioneer in the field of country music, singing songs from the past. It is evident in her 1997 album, True Lies. True Lies was not received favorably by critics, and she was nominated for the Academy of Country Music's award in 1998 for the most outstanding female singer. Evans was finally able to receive the recognition she longed for from her youth with her 1999 album No Place That Far, was released.
