You Can Take the Boy Out of the Country but...

Let's face it.  I have been and always will be, a small town boy from Minnesota.  Though I may live in San Francisco now, I can't get forget my upbringing.  And to be honest, I hope I never do.  I'm thankful for my large palette for musical flavors.  I sometimes wish I shared the same for food (though that could be dangerous).  Which is why with every heaping of pop, there's gotta be a little bit of country.

Sara Evans is getting ready to release her new album sometime next year and I'm in love with her first single A Little Bit Stronger.  She's just released the video - simply done, but I could do without the short "web cam" clips.  I can't get over the uniqueness of her voice for a country singer - if she wanted to, she could be a strong pop ballad singer, next to the likes of Celine Dion and (old school) Mariah Carey.  If you haven't heard her rendition of Westlife's No Place That Far, then you're definitely sitting there thinking I'm nuts for even making such a statement.  I mean hell, if Shania Twain can do it, so could Sara!
