It’s been one month since the release of Little Big Town’s 10th studio album, Mr. Sun, and the project continues to fully live up to its title. While it surely lightens up fans speakers as they listen on their own, the four-member group says it’s also creating spectacular bright moments on tour.
Kimberly, Karen, Philip and Jimi recently joined Audacy’s Katie Neal for the Superstar Power Hour and shared some of their favorite songs to play live from the project while on the road.
“‘All Summer’ has been really fun to put into the set, it gets the crowd movin’” said Philip. “It’s really fun to play, I get to play a big 12-string guitar! It’s fun for me, but I love the energy it has and how it lifts peoples spirits like, immediately.”
“I love ‘Rich Man’” said Kimberly. “When we play ‘Rich Man,’ immediately people are in just because they can identify with the story and understanding what’s most important in this life. I love lookin’ at Jimi when it happens because he wrote this!”
All the members of LBT are weaved throughout the project as writers, producers etc on various tracks, but they also got creative counsel from many of their high-caliber industry pals that they say took this project to the next level.
“We’re so blessed with friends that happen to be the best songwriters in the world,” Jimi laughed. “It’s inspiring and I think that keeps pushing us, just wanting to see what we can come up with next with our friends, or whomever.”
The LBT crew has surely found their way since getting their start 20 years ago and while things may be different, they never lose touch of the fact that they’re living their dream.
“When you combine a good work ethic with dreaming big and believing in yourself, I think big things can happen,” said Karen. “We have just been really lucky to have great people around us and the right opportunity and were kept showing up and we still keep showin’ up and just tryin’ to do the work and that’s always been our mantra and it still is.”
