John Meroney, American Enterprise quoted Evans as saying that God put her on earth to sing. It's what I love most than anything else, and I'll dedicate my life to it. Evans wanted to be an overnight success by re-introducing traditional country songs inspired by legends like Hank Snow and Tammy Wynette, George Jones and Patty Loveless. These are the artists Evans considers her greatest influencers. In the mid 1990s, as most country music aspiring musicians began to turn to pop songs, Evans was a pioneer in the field of country music, singing songs that were popular in the past. It is evident in the album she released in 1997, True Lies. But despite critical acceptance and a nomination by the Academy of Country Music in 1998 for the most promising female singer, True Lies made little an impact. Evans was finally able to earn the respect she longed for from her childhood when her 1999 album, No Place That Far, was released.
