Amazon.com: If Little Big Town's platinum-selling debut, The Road to Here, found the foursome putting a backwoods spin on both Fleetwood Mac and the Southern California rock scene, the band's sophomore release pays such direct tribute to their heroes that you'd have to have a tin ear not to recognize the very songs that inspired them. Liked Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way?" They've got it under the bargain title "Fine Line." Loved "The Chain" and "Landslide?" They're here, too, but with different titles. Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Suite: Judy Eyes?" Try "I'm with the Band." And if it's Sheryl Crow or the Eagles you want, consider A Place to Land one-stop shopping. And why not? If the latter artists started out enamored with country, why can't Nashville return the favor? Who could resist those impeccably arranged and polished harmonies wrapped around such trendy topics as emotional abuse and low self-esteem? Homage never sounded so heavenly. --Alanna Nash Customer Reviews: Rating:

... a great place to land.
It's been quite a while since I've heard vocal work this strong. LBT's two-male, two-female lineup lays a perfect four-pack of rich, intertwined, and layered harmonies atop punchy, power-pop, country-rock songs that recall Eagles and Fleetwood Mac at their finest. An electrifying positivism runs through the band's lyrics. Producer / writer / multi-instrumentalist Wayne Kirkpatrick leads the band members Phillip Sweet, Jimi Westbrook, Karen Fairchild, and Kimberly Schlapman through arrangements that never forget their six-string origins. Guest musician Chris McHugh deserves special mention for his inventive drum work, particularly on the backbeat heat of opener "Fine Line." Other highlights include the tender, life-affirming "Vapor," the anti-abuse anthem of "Evangeline," and the lost ache of "Lonely Enough." For those who like living with songs in their hearts, Little Big Town's a great place to land. Rating:

I give it my highest recommendations!
My daughter introduced me to Little Big Town - I must admit that I don't listen to too much Country music, so they came as a real surprise. But, it sure was a pleasant surprise! LBT is four fresh-faced youngsters that have a great sound, a sound that highly reminds me of Fleetwood Mac at their best, but given a great Country shine.
My favorite songs on this album are A Place To Land, and Evangeline, but they all are excellent tune. So, let me just say that if you are a fan of Country music, or just love that beautiful harmonizing that Fleetwood Mac did so well, then you will love this album. I give it my highest recommendations! Rating:

I love this band!
These guys and gals have the tightest harmonies and rock out. The lyrics are some of the best of any genre. I cannot wait to catch them LIVE next time they are in So Cal. Rating:

LBT has countrified Fleetwood Mac sound....
I saw a TV performance with Little Big Town and rock guitarist Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac some time ago that I thought was excellent. It took me a while to get a CD by LBT, but I don't regret it at all. Their fine harmonies on this disc remind me of Fleetwood Mac's sound made famous by their mid 70s line up of Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, and and Christine McVie. LBT is plugged into the country genre, but I think rock fans might appreciate this CD, too. |
