By MICHAEL MCCALL For The Associated Press Sarah Johns; "Big Love in a Small Town" (BNA) New country singers too often introduce themselves with the politeness of office workers on the first day of a new job. Not Sarah Johns. Her debut, "Big Love in a Small Town," is populated with gutsy females who make a strong impression. In "The One in the Middle," her protagonist delivers an obscene gesture to a betraying lover.

Check this out: In "He Hates Me," Johns delivers a hilarious country rocker about a woman straining to impress a guy, only to have every move hurting rather than helping her chances.
