Provoked

True to her Texas honky-tonk roots, Sunny Sweeney has never been a singer of what you'd call soft country songs the kind you might turn to for easy comfort and or quiet Sunday afternoons with the family. Hell, you can tell just by the titles of her first two albums Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame and Concrete that she reaches straight for the hard stuff. So when this woman sees fit to name her third album Provoked, you better believe she's not about to start playing coy now. No, this is where the real hurtin starts, and Sweeney's showing no mercy ... least of all to herself.
