Sunny Sweeney "Provoked" Album Review

 

     Country music is meant to come from the heart, full of passion and heartache that bring a tear to your eye or a smile to your face.  While fun and silly songs have their place, country music is adult music full of adult themes.  While it isn't required, it always helps if you live out the stories in these songs.  Sunny Sweeney's life has been a country song.  After going through a divorce and being dropped from her major label, Sunny Sweeney fought back the old fashioned way: with a pen and a guitar.  The result is a incredibly personal album with love, regret, heartache, and some smiles.  Provoked is easily among the strongest releases of the year and adds to Sunny's impressive resume.

Sunny Sweeney "Bad Girl Phase" Single Review

     Sunny Sweeney is back with her new single "Bad Girl Phase".  Sunny released one of the best mainstream albums in recent memory with her stellar Concrete.  The album produced the top 10 hit "From A Table Away" and had nothing but solid country gold from start to finish.  Sunny looked to be on the fast track to the top, but she since was cut from her label and faded off the public mind.  Thankfully, she is back and  with even more spunk than she ever showed before.
