'''''No Place That Far''''' is the second studio album by American country music artist Sara Evans. It was released in October 1998 via RCA Records Nashville. The album's first single, "Cryin' Game", peaked at number 56 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart; this single also included a non-album track entitled "Wait a Minute". The second single, its title track, became Evans' first number one hit on the US country charts. The third and final single from the album, "Fool, I'm a Woman" reached number 32. The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for US sales of 500,000 copies.
The international version of ''No Place That Far'' included remixes of "Cryin' Game", "Fool, I'm a Woman", and "No Place That Far"; the latter excluded the backing vocals by Vince Gill which were featured on the American version. It also included two extra tracks, a remix of "Almost New" from the ''Clay Pigeons'' soundtrack and a cover of "I Only Have Eyes for You".
