“This debut is downright
irresistible, with Sweeney's hankering for hooks not
disturbing the hayseed charm. .
. . Heartbreaker’s
Hall of Fame is a sweet, drawling mix of wistful,
melodic sway and dance-floor precision.”
— AUSTIN AMERICAN
STATESMAN
“. . . a Texas thrush
with a delightfully personable delivery that's country
to the core.”
— Robert K. Oermann,
MUSIC ROW
“Sweeney has produced a
fresh and impressive dud-free debut.”
— KANSAS CITY STAR
“. . . this is a serious
honky-tonk album, steel guitar-drenched and sweaty
and
lovely at the same time.”
— Chet Flippo, CMT.COM
In an age of tweaked-up,
sugar sweetened, studio-manufactured singers, Sweeny
fits like a round
peg in a square hole. . . . Her pure,
natural sound -- just as country and wide-open as her
East Texas homelands . . .”

“On . . .
Heartbreaker’s Hall of
Fame, the Longview native drawls her way
Iris Dement
-style through
some classic
left-side-of-Nashville country songs and does it without
straying even once over into
the pop-laced crap that has
turned the female side of mainstream country music into
a Revlon
eyeliner-and-lipstick ghetto.”

“Sunny Sweeney is proof
that it is absolutely possible to look like Faith Hill
and still sing
like Wanda Jackson.”
— ABOUT.COM
“ . . a refreshing slice
of traditional honky tonk enlivened with a dollop of
rock n roll energy.”
