Someone lit a fire under Lindsey's ass! Sounds like it will be a great show.

I'm not very familiar with Little Big Town, but I'm looking forward to the show. Would have been cool to have seen him with Keith Urban... of course the KU/Fogerty show was awesome, as well.

Very true, I'd like to see him with Ryan too, but I also think this choice adds another chapter to Lindseys vision on his own artistry. Everyone who is a bit cynical about him and his noncommercial blabla must admit that the guy lives up to it as long he's not in FM. I really appreciate the fact that he keeps taking risks and does whatever he feels is good, not for sales but for his muse. No REM, no Ryan Adams, no Billy Corgan, even no Matthew Sweet, but Little Big Town....and AGAIN....I bow deeply.

What is interesting about Little Big Town's brand of country music and much of country music today, is that it owes much more to Rumours era Fleetwood Mac and the 70's california sound, (IE the Eagles) than it does to George Jones, Hank Williams, or even Elvis...Little Big Town also has some similarities to Fleetwood Mac. Alternating male and female lead vocals. A married couple, 4 part harmonies, instead of 3, but none the less a lot of multiple part harmonies.

I do remember the blurb about CMT Lindsey made, but the man has always contradicited himself and quite frankly he should jump at an opportunity to get his music to a wider audience.

For those who want a less processed more organic Lindsey this show could be enjoyable for you.

I agree. I work in radio and we have 2 country stations.. and I'm not big on this music. But Little Big Town is tolerable to me, and not as processed and pop-y as many other groups are.. regardless of what some others in this thread have indicated, imo. I can hear Lindsey fitting in some awesome guitar parts on top of some of the picking I've heard on various LBT songs.

I'm going to tell myself that it was all us Ledgies who either met him or gave him letters/books/posters back in 2003-2004 asking him to PLEASE do another solo album and tour.

SHUT. UP.

This is very cool - although I've no clue who the hell Little Big Town is.

I'll have to investigate. But wow, our guy's on fire!

Ledgies,
I think Little Big Towne is great! They have a very "FM" sound to them. I have some of their muisc and it always reminded me of early Lindsey/Stevie. This is still so not what we would expect from Mr. Buckingham but YES! I know somebody else said it but 2005-2007 is more projects than we have gotten solo from him in a 10 year span. Bring it on!

I agree! Local dj's have lauded Little Big Town as the "country version of Fleetwood Mac." As a matter of fact, a couple of the bands' members called in to the station once, and the dj actually told them that they reminded him of FM. The guy was completely blown away and flattered. Cool. And, I do enjoy their music, twangy as it may be. I love those harmonies.

As far as Lindsey contradicting himself about CMT or whatever, who gives a sh#t?? The man is FINALLY putting himself back out there, getting some exposure, and I LOVE IT!!!!! He's a giant contradiction, anyway!

yep. that's what I was going to say. there was a review of their album that said their song "Bones" sounded like "The Chain" - I think Little Big Town is a great group, great harmonies and a fine looking man in that group.

I just now noticed this note on Lindsey's web site about the CMT taping: "Click here for information on how you can bid for tickets to the invitation-only taping of the show!"

I cannot believe I missed a chance to try to get tickets!!!
