Editorial Review:
Sara Evans began basic and earthy on her 1997 debut, Three Chords and the Truth-- only to U-turn into poppish, radio-friendly, late-'90s fare that expanded her popularity. Then, in 2003, she swerved back to raw traditionalism on Restless, which showcased her edgy, in-your-face hit "Suds in the Bucket." Evans stays that course on Real Fine Place, with straightahead, earthy production values and first-rate material, including Sheryl Crow's "Roll Me Back in Time" and the title tune, cowritten by Radney Foster and George Ducas. She conjures the perfect mixture of pain and indignation on "Cheatin'," and projects warmth on the parenthood tale "You'll Always Be My Baby." Her stately rendition of Lori McKenna's "Bible Song" magnifies its dark slice-of-life lyrics. Evans cowrote six of the numbers, including the party anthem "Momma's Night Out" and "These Four Walls," an affirmation of domestic pride written with her brother Matt. Granted, her earthy and frothy sides each have their partisans. Even so, high standards remain a constant on all her albums. This one's no exception. --Rich Kienzle
Real Fine Place Reviews:
Sara is so underrated! 
2008-09-05 - After listening to this album along with Born to fly for years, and I have not heard the whole " restless" album yet ;why is Sara so underrated?
Her songs are strong, her voice sweet and effortless and not to mention catchy. She is very talented as much as or more than other country artists today. Hmmmm
Fine Album 
2007-07-02 - This, Sara's 5th album, is a strong 4 stars, not quite 5 tho. It has a number of songs on it that now seem kind of ironical given her current family problems, but that wasn't her intent at all nor should it influence consideration of the music. This album continues more or less in the "Restless" vein, being perhaps a bit less poppy. Definitely mainstream country. Notable stuff:
Coalmine - ode to working class hubby
Real Fine Place - has energy and spirit
Cheatin' - funny lyrics about how a cheatin' man is getting comeupance from life while the woman enjoys herself for once
Supernatural
Roll Me BAck in Time - lover chases Hollywood fame rather than his beloved
Bible Song - has a good, moving story about singer's cousin who commits suicide and its effect on loved ones
Missing Missouri - nice salute to home state and family
Momma's Night Out - uptempo and spunky. The wife/mom is gonna hit the town with the girls and leave domestic stuff to hubby.
Real Fine Place-Sweet!
2007-05-07 - Sara Evans throws a CD into a fire. What comes out...PERFECT! Her voice is so sexy you have pay attention. What a voice! Gif.
SARA'S DONE IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
2007-02-24 - THIS CD IS AWESOME!!!! I LOVE EVERY TRACK!!! SARA'S VOICE IS LIKE NO OTHER. BUY THIS YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!
Real Fine Place
2007-02-04 - I loved Sara Evans's album "Restless"...I still love listening to it to this day! So I had great expectations for "Real Fine Place," just like anybody who heard "Restless" would. When I finally got "Real Fine Place," I liked a few of the songs...but not too many of them got my attention and got me to listen to the whole song, whereas on "Restless" I could just pick a song and listen to the whole thing. My favorite song on this album is "Roll Me Back In Time" because it's written by Sheryl Crow and it sounds great. Other highlights are "A Real Fine Place To Start," "Cheatin'," "You'll Always Be My Baby," "Supernatural," and "Bible Song."
I look forward to Sara's next album, hoping that she will go back to the eras of "Born To Fly" and "Restless."
