I've heard it referred to as "being Pat Greened" and every time I hear about Texas Music fans turning on the bands they've help build, I'm reminded of something I heard as a kid about lobsters. Did you know lobster tanks don't need lids? Because according to the story -- with lobsters, if one manages to start making it's way over the glass, out of the aquarium the other lobster will always pull it back down. I don't know how true it is and Google didn't confirm it for me but it's interesting.

Jeff Giles — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 17:00:00 +0000

Her name might suggest sweetness and light, but country sensation Sunny Sweeney probably has a little more in common with the title of her new album, ‘Concrete’ — she’s tough, unyielding, and not someone you’d want to go up against.

But that isn’t to say she doesn’t have anything in common with her namesake. With one top 10 single under her belt — and another on the way — she’s certainly hot.

Longview Native Sunny Sweeney's Current Hit Generating Ideas For Her Next [VIDEO]

Buddy Logan — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 14:00:22 +0000

After playing shows around Texas for the better part of the last decade and experiencing a very respectable amount of success here in her home state of Texas, Longview's very own Sunny Sweeney has successfully been able to parlay her Texas success into Nashville success.

Her current single 'From A Table Away' an amazing song which this week sits at number 13 on Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40 tells the story of a cheating man from a perspective not often told. This fresh insight offers the story from the point of the view of the woman who is having an affair with a married man. But Sunny is able to spin it in such a way, that may leave you feeling sympathetic towards the woman actually doing the cheating. Here I'd like to write something like "once again it's all the man's fault" but I will refrain.

Perhaps the best part of the song is the new ideas it has helped generate for future Sunny hits. This East Texas girl tells TasteOfCountry.com
