A Sunday Drive was inspired by an image my friend, photographer Cindy Wilson, shared on social media. Cindy’s photo is of an old car sitting in front of a gas station.

Everything, including the station, had been abandoned for years: the car, tire rims, license plates, gas pumps - one of the pumps had leaded gasoline at $0.32 cents a gallon.

I have driven over 500,000 miles performing over the years and have seen similar images time and time again. You find these markers of what life used to be when you are willing to travel off the main highway.

A Sunday Drive is an eclectic collection of markers. I, with the help of my friend Cathy Clasper-Torch, wanted to capture the variety of music heard over the car radio, heard at a farmer’s market, sung or played from a front porch as you drive around. A few of the songs and instrumental are markers of what used to be. A couple of songs and instrumentals are markers of what I have seen.

This is a traditional collection done with respect & credibly performed.....the music doesn’t flow like a dusty old collection but like vintage songs that sound renewed.” - John Apice

Americana Highways

A Sunday Drive is a fine album in its musical and emotional simplicity” - Mike Davies

Folk Radio UK

Overall, this is a refreshing, clever concept album at a time when other artists insist on serving up nothing but suit-approved singles. This unique tuneful trek through many miles of Americana is eclectic, exceptional, and a fine example of the pair’s personal performing tastes and Sweeney’s on-the-road experiences and assorted influences. So, pick up Ed Sweeney’s A Sunday Drive, featuring Cathy Clasper-Torch, and enjoy “A Little Traveling Music”.” - Will Phoenix
