December
9, 2013 – Multi platinum-selling recording artist Sara Evans, one of the most
compelling and authentic vocalists in Country music, will release her highly
anticipated seventh studio album Slow Me Down, on March 4, 2014. The
album comes over two years after the release of Stronger, her second
Billboard Country Album Chart #1. Despite five #1 Country songs Slow Me Down’s
title track, released earlier this Fall is Sara’s biggest first week Country
radio added single ever. The song has been steadily climbing the charts
ever since. The video featuring NASCAR great Carl Edwards is now in
heavy rotation on both CMT and GAC.
Slow
Me Down
is co-produced with Mark Bright (Reba McEntire, Rascal Flatts, and Carrie
Underwood) who Evans last worked with on her Platinum-selling #1 Country album Real
Fine Place (2005). Slow Me Down sees Evans collaborating on three
tracks “Better Off” with Country legend Vince Gill, “Can’t Stop Loving You” a
duet with Isaac Slade of The Fray and a cover of Gavin DeGraw’s “Not Over You,”
which features Gavin singing harmonies. This album is what fans have waited for
and newcomers are bound to fall in love with.
“Making
Slow Me Down has been a truly amazing experience,” said Evans. “I had
the chance to co-write with some of my favorite writers, work with Mark
(Bright) and some truly incredible musicians - and now hearing what
we created gives me such an incredible sense of pride. Having Isaac
(Slade), Gavin (DeGraw), and Vince (Gill) sing with me, was an amazing
experience and they took those songs to another level. I honestly
have never been more excited to have everyone hear one of my albums. I cannot
wait to share it with everyone.”
Slow
Me Down is
Sara Evans at her finest, with her signature powerful vocals that will serve as
a reminder of why she has had a level of success reserved for few. Evans
co-wrote three of the albums eleven-tracks and some of Nashville ’s finest songwriters are
represented on Slow Me Down. A virtual who’s who of songwriters on the
album include Dave Berg (Keith Urban, Reba McEntire, Blake Shelton), Shane
McAnally (Florida Georgia Line, Kasey Musgraves, Kelly Clarkson), Karyn
Rochelle (Trisha Yearwood, LeAnn Rimes, Ronnie Milsap), Sarah Buxton (Keith
Urban, The Band Perry, Gary Allan), and Shane Stevens (Lady Antebellum, Kellie
Pickler, Montgomery Gentry), amongst many others.
Since
emerging in the late 1990s, Sara Evans has had five #1 songs, four others
appearing in the Top 10, two #1 Billboard Country Albums, five appearing on
Billboard’s Top 200 all-genre chart and four consecutive RIAA certified Gold,
Platinum or Multi-Platinum albums. She’s received awards from the Country Music
Association, Academy
of Country Music ,
Billboard Music Award and has garnered nominations for Grammy Awards (2), American
Country Awards (10) and CMT Music Awards (5). Sara won the hearts of America as the
first country artist to compete in ABC’s Dancing with the Stars and was
also chosen as one of People Magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People.”
