乐队资料
Little Big Town是一个乡村音乐组合,由Karen Fairchild,Kimberly Roads,Jimi Westbrook和Phillip Sweet成立于1998年。乐队一直致力于协凋(harmony)和多元化演唱风格,每个成员都能来上两手。就是这样一个不寻常的组合,一开始就在田纳西州打下了一片天,随后就加盟了Mercury Records,但那里的制作理念同乐队的商业方式发生了冲突。在另一支乡村组合Dixie Chicks取得成功后,Little Big Town看中了他们的运作方式,于2000加盟了Dixie Chicks的唱片公司Monument Records。
2016年2月,在第58届格莱美获得最佳乡村组合和最佳乡村单曲。

Little Big Town is an American country music group. Founded in 1998, the group has comprised the same four members since its foundation: Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman (formerly Kimberly Roads), Jimi Westbrook, and Phillip Sweet. Their musical style relies heavily on four-part vocal harmonies, with all four members alternating as lead singers; Westbrook and Sweet also play rhythm guitar.
After a recording deal with the Mercury Nashville Records label which produced no singles or albums, Little Big Town released its self-titled debut on Monument Records in 2002. It produced two minor country chart singles before the group left the label. By 2005, the group had been signed to Equity Music Group, an independent record label owned by Clint Black. Their second album, ‘The Road to Here’, was released that year, and received a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). ‘A Place to Land’, their third album, was released via Equity, then re-released via Capitol Nashville after Equity closed in 2008. Four more albums have followed for Capitol: ‘The Reason Why’ (2010), ‘Tornado’ (2012), ‘Pain Killer’ (2014). and ‘Wanderlust’ (2016). All of their albums have accounted for 18 singles on Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay, including the No. 1 singles "Pontoon" and "Girl Crush", along with the top 10 hits "Boondocks", "Bring It On Home", "Little White Church", "Tornado", and "Day Drinking".
