變更

1997年，埃文斯通過 RCA 發行了第一張專輯《Three Chords and the Truth》。評論家贊美這張專輯重返了傳統鄉村音樂并且在一些“十佳”里包括它。<!--The album included a cover version of older Country song, [[Patsy Cline]]'s "Imagine That", which originally reached No. 21 for Cline on the Country charts in 1962. However, the album did not catch on with country radio at the time, and none of the three singles made the top 40. It would be another year before Evans gained full popularity. 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, peaking outside Country's Top 40. However, it was her next single, "No Place That Far", a duet with [[Vince Gill]], that brought Evans massive success, reaching No. 1 on the Country charts, as well reaching the Billboard Hot 100 Top 40, Evans' first major hit. Because of the success the album gained, Evans' album was certifed "Gold" by the [[RIAA]] that year.-->
