Sunny Sweeney, ‘Concrete’ (Republic Nashville)

Signed by the guy who shepherded Taylor Swift to superstardom, this fresh-faced country lass considers the sweet torture of young romance with a similarly exacting eye. In a nifty twist, though, Sunny Sweeney excels at playing the cheater, not the cheated: “From a Table Away” illuminates the other woman’s plight over a gorgeous neo-countrypolitan arrangement, while the rougher-hewn “Amy” works like a role-reversal take on Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” begging an over-it wife to let her love-?hungry hubby go. Call it “He Belongs With Me.”
