The career-spanning collection drops this summer
Multi-platinum Grammy Award-winning four-piece Little Big Town – comprised of Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook – proudly announce the release of their first-ever career-spanning Greatest Hits album out August 9th via Capitol Records Nashville. The album collects over two decades of chart-busting country smashes on one definitive body of work, ranging from the Grammy Award-winning “Pontoon,” “Boondocks,” and “Better Man” to massively influential anthems such as “Girl Crush.” It traces the quartet’s unbelievable journey from humble beginnings to country royalty.
“As we embark on the next 25 years of Little Big Town, we wanted to reflect back on our catalog and really honor the songs that have had the greatest impact throughout this incredible journey,” the group states. “This Greatest Hits album was carefully curated by all four of us and is a love letter to our fans who have been there for every reason.”
Simultaneously, the band continues to give diehard fans something unique, inviting marquee superstars to duet on a handful of fan favorites for the first time. In this spirit, a few close friends have joined them to celebrate 25 years with Greatest Hits. They herald the album’s arrival with a new version of their 2011 hit, “Shut Up Train” featuring Kelsea Ballerini – available to stream at all partners now.
“Kelsea is a dear friend of ours and has been telling us for years that ‘Shut Up Train’ is one of her favorite album cuts. When we asked her to add her voice to the song, we were blown away by the nuances she added. She made this song all the more special,” the band gushes.
Plus, they linked up with Miranda Lambert for a new collaborative version of the platinum 2010 staple “Little White Church.” Lambert infuses the track with fresh fire, continuing a tradition of collaboration with Little Big Town dating back to 2014’s “Smokin’ and Drinkin’.”
The band initially set the stage for Greatest Hits by releasing Phil Collins’ cover “Take Me Home” featuring Sugarland. The two powerhouse groups notably delivered a stunning performance of the song at the 2024 CMT Music Awards. The soaring collaboration has already amassed over one million total streams and counting.
Little Big Town will be hosting what promises to be an unforgettable holiday special entitled, Little Big Town’s Christmas at The Opry on NBC this holiday season. The special will be a festive two-hour musical extravaganza from Nashville’s iconic Grand OIe Opry, featuring performances from the band alongside lots of exciting special guests.
