Little Big Town:



Wikipedia:
Little Big Town is an American country music group. Founded in 1998, the group has comprised the same four members since its founding: Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook. Their musical style relies heavily on four-part vocal harmonies, with all four members alternating as lead vocalists; Sweet and Westbrook also play rhythm guitar.
After a recording deal with the Mercury Nashville Records label which produced no singles or albums, Little Big Town released its self-titled debut on Monument Records in 2002. It produced two minor country chart singles before the group left the label. By 2005, the group had been signed to Equity Music Group, an independent record label owned by Clint Black. Their second album, The Road to Here, was released that year, and received a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). A Place to Land, their third album, was released via Equity, then re-released via Capitol Nashville after Equity closed in 2008. Five more albums have followed for Capitol: The Reason Why (2010), Tornado (2012), Pain Killer (2014), The Breaker (2017), and Nightfall (2020). All of their albums have accounted for 24 singles on Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay, including the No. 1 singles "Pontoon", "Girl Crush", and "Better Man" along with the top 10 hits "Boondocks", "Bring It On Home", "Little White Church", "Tornado", and "Day Drinking"

AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine:
Nightfall, the ninth album from Little Big Town, takes its title from a shimmering piece of soft-focus pop that effortlessly evokes Fleetwood Mac at the twilight of the 1980s. The hooks, harmonies, and aural sumptuousness of late-period Mac have long been a touchstone for Little Big Town, yet this sound is merely a connective thread on an album that finds the quartet settling into a subdued but not necessarily settled middle age. Making a break from Jay Joyce, the producer who has largely helmed their records since 2012's platinum Tornado, the four made Nightfall on their own, whittling its 13 tracks down from over 30 completed songs. The labor is evident, particularly in the careful construction of the compositions and the subtle shading on individual tracks. Such concentrated attention to discrete moments can result in a touch of thematic incoherence -- the rowdy Mexicali-flavored drinking anthem "Wine, Beer, Whiskey" follows the lament "Over Drinking" -- but the album overall has a keenly ruminative vibe that's not far removed from "The Daughters," Nightfall's lead single that happened to snag a Grammy nomination prior to the record's January 2020 release. The hushed atmosphere isn't monotonous: not only is there room for the aforementioned goofy "Wine, Beer, Whiskey," "Forever and a Night" builds to a gospel crescendo, "Bluebird" is breezy and gentle, and "Sugar Coat" offers a dose of measured majestic melodrama. Perhaps these distinctions are understated but they're nevertheless felt and help give Nightfall a delicate richness; it's music for meditative mornings or for afternoons in need of a dose of consolation and comfort.
