That charmer singing about a broken heart in the above clip is one Sunny Sweeney, a resident of Longview (just a short jaunt east along I-20, past Miranda Lambert’s Lindale and Eisley’s Tyler).
Now, here’s the impressive thing: In addition to the above video, released just two weeks back, having 1.7 million views on YouTube, the song it promotes, “From a Table Away,” is also the highest charting Billboard debut single from a female country artist in four years, according to this press release here on my desk. Not bad, not bad.
It’s not really her first release, though. That’d be Heartbreaker’s Hall of Fame, which she released for Big Machine in 2007. Her new album, Concrete, comes out a week from tomorrow on Republic Nashville (a subsidiary of Universal).
Semantics? Maybe. Either way, a nice breakup song from a female East Texan, even if that’s something we’re long familiar with. But, hey, the more the merrier, right?
