I have been a fan of LBT's pleasing harmonies for years now and I am so glad they are back on radio with "Boondocks" - an ode to rural America - and The Road to Here in stores. I especially love "Welcome to the Family", a tongue-in-cheek warning to a new brother-in-law ('Uncle Bill's the undertaker's son, he'll dig a hole for you') it also has an awesome guitar line. From the somber ("Live With Lonesome" and "Lost") to the sweet "A Little More You", their harmonies are tight. "Bones" and "Good as Gone" are both fun to sing along to, Phillip's husky voice on "Bring it On Home" makes me weak in the knees and the acoustic version "Stay" is just...divine. I love how this album flows, my sweeties LBT have topped themselves. See them live if they come to your town!
I was drawn in in the first five seconds of the song Boondocks. I loved the harmony, writing and music of this song. I love the bio on the band and what they have endured both personally and professionally.
A unique sound and a unique idea of the vocalist not only harmonizing but sharing the role of "lead vocals."
Not a typical country sound and very appealing to the music fan. I would recommend people give this band a fair shake. They are pretty darn good.
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 CD is a must buy! I can't say enough about it. Listen to the sampler and you'll be curious. Trust me, it's worth every penney!! Another artist is James Otto! Check them both out and decide for yourself!!!
Their 4 part harmony is so tight, it is hard to tell who is who. they sing effortlessly together. they don't even need musical instruments - they sound wonderful with or without. this group is going to be around a long time. i can't wait to hear more from them. i predict they will win awards in the near future. come on people lets help them make it in the tough industry. spread the word and buy their music and don't forgot to request them on the radio stations. Little Big Town - Rocks Country Music - A Legend in the Making.:)
