The US singer-songwriter co-wrote all the songs on the album except for the title track.

“My jaw hit the floor when I heard that song, because I had just gone through my second divorce, which is also cliché of a country singer,” Sweeney says. “I was still pretty raw about my divorce, but also very candid and trying to find levity in the situation. You have to be able to laugh at yourself at some point and not let it just totally get you down.”

Recorded at Modern Electric Sound Recorders in Dallas, Sweeney was able to convince Vince Gill to sing with her on Married Alone – one of two guest appearances on the album. The second is her producer Paul Cauthen on A Song Can’t Fix Everything, which is the album’s lead single.

“I was stepping into the elevator at my hotel as we were leaving Chicago after a great run, and this title popped into my head,” Sweeney says about the song that she co-wrote with Lori McKenna. “It’s about just trying to find those three minutes of happiness you get relating to something and taking yourself out of your everyday life. Letting yourself slip away, it can feel like it’s going to be okay, even if, ultimately, it may not be.”

Married Alone follows her 2020 live album, Recorded Live at the Machine Shop Recording Studio. She previously released four studio albums – Heartbreaker’s Hall Of Fame (2007), Concrete (2011), Provoked (2014) and Trophy (2017) – as well as a self-titled EP in 2011.

In 2013, Sweeney was nominated for ‘Top New Female Artist’ at the ACM Awards.
