As a follow up to "From A Table Away", Sunny continues to prove the 90's value that comercial success is possible without sacraficing artistic integruity with "Staying's Worse Then Leaving". Her lyrics have the spite of a modern Taylor Swift song, but it is much more comparable to a song Pam Tillis would've sang in her prime. Likewise, the production compliments the song in all the right ways, much like that of Shania Twain. However, while she has released the best song so far this year, Sunny's one weak spot is that this song is so great it feels like a classic for a stronger vocalist (like Pam, Patty Loveless, or Sara Evans), and she is a more then compitant singer just not quite the same caliber that could've made this an instant classic.
