By Raymond Loesch • July 6, 2010

If there has ever been a way to describe Sunny Ledfurd, it has got to be his ability to defy categorization. Born in Chattanooga TN and growing up in Gaston County NC, he taught himself guitar at age 15. He knew then that playing the guitar was how he would make a living. Inspired by Guns n Roses, Snoop Dog & David Allan Coe among many, Sunny’s songs continually mix genres and push the envelope. “I’ve always liked artists that you can tell they have something to say. They’re not just singing some words ’cause it sounds cool.” Never one to shy away from a good time… drinking and women are involved in much of the music. With songs like ‘I Don’t Remember Last Night’, ‘Pontoon Boat’, ‘Adderral’, and ‘Myrtle Beach’, Sunny takes you through life in the south as he sees it and lives it. Ledfurd’s songs aren’t entirely country, His music is unique and he tends to blend different styles a bit.There’s a little hint of rap sprinkled in this album, but it is mostly country. Sunny has put out six self-produced/self-released albums. The music itself is enjoyable. Among others, “Ain’t Nothin’ Goin On” and “Got ‘Em” are easy on the ears. The rhythms to Ledfurd’s songs are upbeat and catchy, he is clearly talented in writing melodies. Overall “Greatest Hits 2003-2009” is pretty good. It is very rare where an artist goes against the grain and still can make music the way they want to and succeed. Sunny Ledfurd is one of the rare few, he has gathered many fans over the years and he still continues to make music and make it his way.
