Song lyrics can stem from just about anywhere. Just ask songwriters Natalie Hemby and Delta Maid, who got together and knocked out Little Big Town's 'Tornado' lyrics. The song is the band's current single and the title track to their brand new album.
Little Big Town's 'Pontoon' may have just come off the top of the country singles chart, but the group wasted no time diving into celebration mode. Last Friday evening (Sept. 21) -- the last official day of summer -- Kimberly Schlapman, Karen Fairchild, Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook gathered with friends, family and industry peers atop BMI's rooftop for a big blowout celebrating their very first trip to the top of the charts.
The performers for the 2012 CMA Awards have been announced, and the list contains some of the biggest names in country music today. The 46th Annual CMA Awards will broadcast live from Nashville on Nov. 1 at 8PM ET on ABC, hosted once again by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood.
Little Big Town assert themselves as a vocal quartet with real power and attitude on their new album 'Tornado.' The project -- their most consistent and satisfying yet -- sheds the milquetoast midtempo exercises that bogged down previous albums in favor of ones with true grit.
After a decade and then some of trying to achieve the greatest accomplishment of all, country foursome Little Big Town have finally done so this week. Their current single, 'Pontoon,' tops both the Billboard and Mediabase/Country Aircheck country singles chart.
With the fall season quickly approaching, folks start putting their hearts to good use by helping the less fortunate as we enter into the holiday season. The members of Little Big Town are doing just that by partnering with ConAgra Foods to help with the company’s Child Hunger Ends Here campaign.
The inspiration behind the lyrics to Little Big Town‘s forthcoming single ‘Pontoon’ were a bit of a mix up, but for the band and the writers, a very, very good mix-up! The song is the first single from the band’s highly-anticipated fifth studio album, and it is already being called “the single of the summer” by many media outlets. ‘Pontoon’ was crafted by the amazing minds of Luke Laird, Natalie Hemby and Barry Dean.
For the second year in a row, CMT is pairing up with NBC to announce the anticipated nominees for the 2012 CMT Awards. On Monday (April 23), Little Big Town will head to Rockefeller Plaza in New York City to make the big announcement on the ‘TODAY’ show. The big reveal will take place during the 10 AM EST hour with host Hoda Kotb and guest host Willie Geist.
Any country artist that can invent a sound never before heard on country radio deserves a round of applause. In the age of repetition and imitation, Little Big Town releases ‘Pontoon,’ a song that has no siblings.
Last week, Little Big Town‘s Phillip Sweet expanded his family by one, but it’s not what you’re thinking. Sweet, his wife and daughter adopted a new puppy!
