Hi S&A,

Just in case you didn't notice on the Sara-Online.Net forum, we have
a winner in the Real Fine Place album review contest. The winning
entry was composed by MIKE STENZ! Mike receives the autographed CD
insert and vinyl window sticker bearing the S&A logo. Congrats to
Mike and all the contestants for their fantastic reviews!

Below is a link to Mike's album review, as well as the 2nd & 3rd
place entries as determined by our panel of five judges:

I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and are looking forward to
another big year from Sara. The year 2005 was about as big a year
for her as any of us could have hoped for, with the release of the
new album, another #1 single for ARFPTS, appearances on Good Morning
America & the Today Show, along with full touring schedules with
Brad Paisley and Alan Jackson. And although the numerous award
nominations didn't produce trophies, I found it interesting that in
the Country Weekly Readers' Poll (Jan. 2, 2006), Sara was the clear
favorite for Female Artist with 22% of the vote, followed by Martina
(20%), Faith (17%), Trisha (14%), and Terri (8%). The CMA Winner
Gretchen Wilson was not even listed on the people's choice. Perhaps
this means an award is in sight for Sara at the upcoming fan-voted
Flameworthy's? We shall see....

Finally, here's a rundown of the recent albums you need to pick up
to stay current with Sara:

*Cracker Barrel Presents Sara Evans - Feels Like Home (Available at
C. Barrel)
*Pickin' on Sara Evans: Bluegrass Tribute (Available at Target)
*Desperate Housewives Soundtrack (featuring vocals on "One's on the
Way")
*Coming Home by Lonestar (feat. accompanying vocals on "I Never
Needed You")
*Underneath the Same Moon by John Rich (feat. Sara duet, avail.
March 14)
