Sunny Sweeney had an album out several years ago that I've yet to hear but that Don and Xhuxk praise, and has a single now that reminds me in sound and melody (though not at all in lyrics or arrangement) of Vanessa Carlton's excellent "Spring Street."



What I wrote on Rolling Country: "Woman in the shadows realizes she's stuck being the other woman. Good workaday sorrow, a rich voice that doesn't force things."

Also, Xhuxk and I think there's something Ashleeish about Lee Brice's "Picture Of Me," even if Lee's a drooling-at-the-mouth southern rocker. I haven't heard the album version, so I'm going on a live clip:



Chuck Eddy: "'Picture Of Me' seems like a pretty good here's-how-I-am-and-here's-why-I'm that-way statement, the kind of song Eric Church might've sang on his first album (and maybe Ashlee Simpson on her first two), though I haven't decided yet if Brice is saying anything new in it."

Me: "Not taking in the lyrics yet, but Lee Brice's wail on this reminds me of Ashlee, his voice scooping down and yarling up. Kicking band, too."
