Little Big Town Album: “The Road To Here”

I've been playing this CD in the car for the past week, and it has grown on me like the local Kudzu here in Georgia.

I love how LBT can glide effortlessly from a banjo-infected bluegrass-leaning song to something that sounds like the best of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young from the 70's, then turn around and sound like the best of Blue Rodeo. There's not a bad cut on this CD.

With "Boondocks" on country radio, this CD is getting the exposure it deserves. The best CD I've heard this year, and best overall since the Sugarland CD.

I am sucker for harmony, which is why I am such a fan of artists like Vince Gill, Allison Krauss, Rascal Flatts....Anyhow, I decided I had to own this CD after hearing "Boondocks" on the radio a couple of times. What's really cool is how there is not one lead vocalist - the songs alternate from female to male lead. There is only one song on this disc that I skip ("Welcome To The Family"). The rest are all fantastic and I can't help but sing along! I would list the standouts, but that would be nearly the entire CD!

This is by far one of the BEST CD's I've purchased in a very long time! Little Big Town's harmony's are absolutely amazing and their talents shines through in this CD! Highly Recomended!

I went to see Keith Urban last November, and on the way to the show heard "Boondocks" on the radio. I immediately loved the attitude in the lyrics and the harmonies, but had no idea what band it was. To my very pleasant surprise, I found Little Big Town to be opening for Keith Urban that night! They were simply fantastic, 100x better than any opening band I have ever seen, possibly besides Maroon 5 opening for John Mayer. If you think LBT sounds good on the records, see them in concert. Their live sound is mind bogglingly good. Their harmonies seem so natural, and their balance was perfect.

I have yet to pick up the first LBT cd, but will very soon. I am still quite occupied with "The Road to Here" though, as I keep getting hooked on a new song every couple of weeks. Right now it's "Fine with Me", a song that puts me in a fantastic mood no matter what kind of day I've had. I'm also a big fan of "Bones", which has an awesome bitter taste to it without being vindictive. I also agree with another reviewer who stated that the last song on the album, "Stay", is "simply devine". I'm a guy and I don't immediately go for the slow, sappy, acoustic songs like that, but this one just gets me. I love the simplicity of "Lost", the repetitiveness of the chorus only reinforces the pain of the song. My number one pick of the album is "Bring it on Home". It's such a sweet song, the kind that makes you say "awww" when you hear the lyrics.

I can't say enough great things about LBT. Buy the albums, see them live, you will NOT be disappointed.

I am from far away, it is not the music I usually hear, I went to the states, and I hear this band in the radio, after that I bought this CD, and I have to say that every song is a good song.
