So Blue ,” “ Everybody ’ s Watching ” and “ Promise to Keep ” all roar with an explosive energy worthy of the early ’ 70s Rolling Stones or the Faces , while demonstrating that the Blackfoot Gypsies wear their inspirations on their sleeves without falling into the trap of pointless imitation .
The band slows things down a bit with “ Potatoes and Whiskey ,” a rough-cut slice of honky-tonk featuring Margo Price on backing vocals . Next they hop on a sanctified express train for the balling-the-jack anthem “ I Had a Vision ,” followed by the Big Easy groove of “ Back to New Orleans ,” a song perfect for secondline dancing anytime or anyplace .

Sunny weather
OKLAHOMA CITY – Texas singer / songwriter Sunny Sweeney will brighten up a couple days for music lovers here in Oklahoma June 15- 16 .
Sweeney ’ s recent album Trophy was touted by Rolling Stone as , “ Whiskeylaced ballads mingle with extraordinarily honest confessionals , delivered in a soul-piercing voice that alternates between cynically tough and heart-achingly tender ,” and features collaborations with Lori McKenna , Trisha Yearwood , Ray Benson and Jack Ingram .
“ I started doing this whole ‘ music thing ’ for tips — and free beer and burgers ,” Sweeney reflects on her career . Now she ’ s packing halls and clubs wherever she goes , and doesn ’ t mind a beer or burger when the situation allows .
Catch Sunny two days in Oklahoma – June 15 at The Blue Door in OKC and June 16 at Cain ’ s Ballroom in Tulsa , the latter with Jon
