Ch-ch-ch-changes!!!!
Part of the story of Little Big Town’s history was a frustrating recording contract in which the band made a ton of compromises, only to come up with an album that didn’t really work. To add insult to injury, they got dumped by the label.
Now they’re changing labels again, leaving the independent company where they first found success to sign with a major. The band officially left the Equity Music Group yesterday in favor of a new deal with Capitol Records, which has bought the rights to both of their Equity albums, The Road To Here and A Place To Land.
And after a lengthy wait, they’ll finally follow up last fall’s single "I’m With The Band" with a new single, yet to be announced.
Whichever song they choose, Little Big Town is looking to raise its status a bit
"We’re perfectionists and strivers," group member Karen Fairchild said recently. "So we keep going and going, always reaching for that next level, whatever that might be and never feel like we’ve made it. I guess we’re still really hungry and excited about doin’ [music], and don’t take any of it for granted."
The band is currently nominated for Top Vocal Group in the 43rd annual Academy of Country Music Awards, slated for May 18 in Las Vegas.
