Album review
Despite comparisons to the fashionable-again Fleetwood Mac (which they irresistibly lean all the way into on the dusky title track of their ninth album), Little Big Town resist trends and end up setting them. This time, that means sticking to ballads and mid-tempo treats. Opener "Next To You" is a slow burn that builds to soaring four-part harmonies; that formula also works on the plaintive, piano-driven "Forever and a Night." The foursome should offer a master class for younger country artists tempted by pop crossovers, cowboy-hat posturing and TV talent-show histrionics. The Cliff's Notes version: "Sugar Coat," on which Karen Fairchild deftly communicates the pain of infidelity by refusing to over-sing the chorus—no show-off runs here—even as the Nashville Sound-style strings swell. There's also an art to knowing when you don't need to reinvent the wheel. Mariachi-laced "Wine, Beer Whiskey" is a guaranteed crowd pleaser, which cheer-like chanted lyrics that name-check the MVPs of the back bar: "my friend named Jack, he's got my back…my friend named Tito, he's my amigo." © Shelly Ridenour / Qobuz
