Groupe
country US formé en 1998 à Nashville (Tennessee), comprenant Karen Fairchild, Phil Sweet,
Jimi Westbrook et Kimberly "Roads" Schlapman.
The
country vocal quartet Little Big Town began with Kimberly Roads and Karen
Fairchild, two Georgia natives who began singing together in college. Arkansan
Jimi Westbrook, a friend of Fairchild's husband, joined them to make a trio, and
the group was completed by the addition of Phil Sweet in 1998. From the outset,
Little Big Town devoted their sound to harmony and multiple lead vocals, a
combination that made the band a hard sell at first. They finally landed a deal
at Mercury Records, but it fell through due to disagreements about musical
direction. In the wake of the success of
the Dixie Chicks, however, Little Big Town suddenly seemed a more likely
commercial proposition, and they were taken up by
the Dixie
Chicks' label, Monument Records, in 2000.
Recording sessions lasted longer than usual for a country release, but Monument
finally issued the band's debut single, "Don't Waste My Time," in the winter of
2002. The song was on its way up the charts when its accompanying album,
Little Big Town, arrived in May. Although the debut produced several minor
hits, Little Big Town didn't become a superstar act until 2005, when The Road
to Here yielded four Top 20 singles (including the ballad "Bring It on
Home") and earned the group its first platinum record. A Place to Land
followed in 2007 and netted three singles, none of which made it into the Top
30, but the band's profile continued to grow due to incessant touring and
supporting acts from Sugarland to
Carrie Underwood. Fairchild also
guested with John Mellencamp on his album Life Death Love and Freedom. In
May of 2010 "Little White Church" appeared as a single that peaked at number 14
on the Billboard country chart; in August of that year Little Big Town's fourth
studio album, The Reason Why, was released by Capitol. The band returned
in 2012 with the single "Pontoon," which wound up topping Billboard's country
charts. Little Big Town's fifth full-length album, Tornado, followed in
September 2012.
