专辑介绍
Sarah Johns，她是来自美国田纳西州州府城市纳什维尔的一位女歌手，她的音乐风格属于那种乡村爵士乐。
如果以前你听过这类的音乐，你会发现其实很多的这类的歌手或者音乐人他们喜欢把关于爱情、自由甚至是生命的悲痛融入到了这种乡村爵士乐中。我想可能迷恋乡村音乐的人，都或多或少都是一些多愁善感的人吧，至少我是这么认为的。但是我想：其实我们有时候也不要太过忧伤了，还是笑口常开的比较好，因为音乐它本身就是抒发情感的一种介质。几千年来，人类都是通过借助音乐抒发和宣泄自己的情感，从而使自己通过这种抒发和宣泄变得快乐，使自己过得开心。
那一起来听听看Sarah Johns这位乡村爵士女歌手的一张新专集《Big Love In A Small Town》中的这首叫做《One in the Middle》，让我们一起跟着欢乐的音乐节奏，暂时忘却那些烦恼吧～

Sarah Johns is a country singer/songwriter whose debut album, Big Love in a Small Town, is a thoroughly contemporary country record that is also steeped deeply in the tradition that begat Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn -- and to a lesser extent the middle period of Tanya Tucker -- but whose attitude is drenched in the kind of freedom swagger that Gretchen Wilson brought back to country (on the other side of the "rowdy-and-wild-as-the-boys" fence). Produced by Joe Scaife, Big Love in a Small Town is exclusively made up of tunes co-written by Johns. These are hard country songs, devoid of the kind of pop trappings so common in Nashville (though '70s-styled Southern rock makes its voice heard in places here). These 11 tracks are drenched in fiddle, pedal steel, and Dobro, more so than any mainstream country record since the late '80s, but its production values are contemporary country down the pipe. This set has as huge a sound as one by Keith Urban or Martina McBride, though its instrumentation, arrangements, and filigree are decidedly more roots than pop. The tunes walk a line between hardcore, modern honky tonk heartbreak tunes ("A Lot to Let Go Of") and two-steppers like "When Do I Just Get to Be a Woman." While she seems to aspire to "traditional" feminine values, she spits them out with enough nastiness to make a man lower his eyes. Johns' voice is pure country. She's not particularly gifted as a singer, but doesn't need to be because she has the power and the sincerity to pull off her songs convincingly. Take a listen to "If You Could Hold Your Woman (Like You Hold Your Whiskey)," and you'll get the modern country-rock equivalent of Lynn's "Don't Come Home a Drinkin' with Lovin' on Your Mind." ...
