Biography

Songfacts says: Texan Country artist Sunny Sweeney’s debut studio album, Heartbreaker’s Hall Of Fame, was critically acclaimed but failed to impress radio, and none of the album’s three singles charted. However, she achieved a breakthrough when From A Table Away became her first record to enter the Hot 100 when it debuted at #96 on the chart dated January 22, 2011.

Between having three dogs named Merle, Nash, and Dolly and an East Texas accent so pronounced you could pick her out in a crowded honky-tonk from across the room, Sunny Sweeney is so country she probably snores Loretta Lynn melodies in her sleep. That much was clear long, long before she ever got around to recording her debut album, Heartbreaker’s Hall of Fame . So what the hell she was thinking when she skipped off to New York City shortly after graduation to pursue a career in theater or comedy instead of conquering the dancehall and opry circuit back home is anyone’s guess. Maybe she was just testing herself — making absolutely sure she was born to be a country singer, not just another pretty young improv-comedian from Longview, Texas, lighting up the Great White Way.

Or, you know, maybe a waitress, nanny, dog walker or cubicle drone.

    She should come to Scotland. It'd be great to see her at Celtic Connections. Hell it'd be great to see her anywhere in the Glasgow area!

    she is a real sweetheart and the only woman I know who can sing Merle Haggard or Johnny Cash and make it sound great. Her live shows are awesome if you get the chance to see her do!

    Sunny is the best! It's good to know there are pure and true artists out there sticking to there roots! My favorites are Slow Swingin Western Tunes, Please be San Antone and 10yrs passed. Oh hell I love them all. Mamma Opery reminds me of my Granny.

    Agreed! I was so surprised to see some real country on TV the other day...her If I Could video. It's wonderful to see that this kind of music can still make it that far.
