Country's best group does it again!

Okay, I admit it, I love Little Big Town. Ever since I saw them for the first time several years ago I have been a dedicated admirer. Their music is some of the best I've heard in a long time. "A Place to Land" is no different. From the title track to the singles "I'm With the Band" and "Fine Line" to the newer extra tracks the band is vocally superior and musically its pleasing on all levels. "A Place to Land" is fun, inspiring, touching and full of joy. The album is LBT's pure sound and fun attitude throughout. It's a fantastic album! November 14, 2008

One of the best albums to come out in years

This CD is incredible! Every song flows seamlessly to the next and Little Big Town really shows off their amazing harmonies on this album. The songs cover a wide variety of emotions and sounds and there is a song perfect for every mood. If you love great music, you will not be disappointed by this album. October 29, 2008

amazing album

This groups music is just perfectly fine. The harmonizing and lyrics are great and easily understandable. If you like the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac then you'll like Little Big Town. October 28, 2008

Consistently excellent

Little Big Town is phenomenal. Their material and performances are consistently excellent. Performers have to be pigeonholed in some category, and country is where LBT gets slotted, but we're not talking cowboy hats and pickup trucks here. This is just good old rock 'n roll, with only the faintest of twangs. And it just doesn't get much better than this.

Any one of the four members could be a big star on his or her own, but they have chosen instead to pack all of that talent into a tight harmony band, taking turns singing lead. That approach may make them less successful on the radio than a band that has one consistently recognizable voice out front, but it results in a mix of songs that you don't get tired of listening to.

I've gone to three of their concerts. At two, they were the opening act for a bigger name (Martina McBride, George Strait). In both cases, I went for LBT, not the headliner. In fact, I didn't even stay for George Strait's set. The third concert was all their own, so they had the space to really show what they're made of. That was one of the best concerts I've ever been to (up there with Springsteen and Garth).

I can't think of anybody else on the scene with such a high batting average of really good songs -- about four out of five, to my taste. Their earlier CD, "The Road to Here," had set the bar exceptionally high, so I was prepared for a letdown with "A Place to Land." But damned if it isn't even better. I can't wait to hear what they do next. October 18, 2008
