5.0 out of 5 stars Not A Gretchen Wannabe, March 25, 2008

I wanted this CD after hearing "He Hates Me" on the radio, but ALMOST didn't buy it after reading some reviews that made her album sound like something from a Gretchen Wilson wannabe. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sarah Johns not only has a good vocal range, her songs reflect a great stylistic range. Feisty like Gretchen, but with a lot less anger...and a great sense of humor. I really look forward to her next effort - and am glad I took a chance and bought this one. Do the same - you'll be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Country. I Love it!, March 15, 2008

Sarah Johns is part of a refreshing crop of country babes on the scene. I truly enjoyed this CD top to bottom. It's unapologetically country and there's no shortage of fiddle and steel guitar.

Johns reminds me a lot of Patty Loveless. Her voice is pure country, and her songs are relevant, entertaining, and solid. I'm not sure where these negative reviews are coming from.

Country music is my life. I listen to a lot of it. Yes, it's very Nashville, but it's not Keith Urban Nashville, this gal has a lot more in common with real country acts like Mark Chesnutt rather than the sugary styles of Carrie Underwood or Taylor Swift.

Of course we've heard it all before. Drinkin, cheatin husbands, etc. But that is what country music is, and if you don't like it, listen to something else.

Overall, this is a great CD, and I hope she goes real far.

4.0 out of 5 stars Big promise, May 8, 2008

This review is from: Big Love in a Small Town (Audio CD)

This is a nice, fun CD. The music is good, an enjoyable mix of the feisty and the ballad. The lyrics to a number of songs are amusing too, and the listener gets the impression Sara likes life and making music. Modern country, but by no means raucus.
