Sunny Sweeney

Sunny Sweeney is the party and the morning after. Shes the quip that makes you laugh and the truth that makes you cry, the devil thats egging you on and the angel whispering that you arent alone. But those compelling contradictions arent whats most interesting about Sweeney: its the depth and brazen authenticity she brings to all her roles that grabs you and wont let go.

Ive grown up doing the bar scenes, and you have to have drinking and partying songs there-you have to, Sweeney says. Now, my songs are still about the same things, but I feel like theyre more mature versions.

Sweeneys salty wisdom and Texas-hewn soprano have never sounded stronger than they do on Trophy, her anticipated new album. Sunny Sweeney's wit and honesty has always defined her stone-cold country have blossomed into confessional, complex songwriting for grown-ups, still whiskey-drenched and honk-tonk-ready. Drugs, death, the ex-wife, drinking, devotion, and longing for a child: its all here, raw and real.
