Little Big Town and Sugarland Collaboration on CMT Awards Wasn’t a One-Off: LBT Members Talk Covering Phil Collins for Joint Single, Plus Fall Tour
Little Big Town talks about hooking up with Sugarland for a Phill Collins cover, 'Take Me Home,' as seen on the CMT Awards, plus a joint fall tour.
Some Sugarland, actually, as the two country groups will be spending some quality time together later this year, in the wake of their joint performance Sunday night on the CMT Music Awards, where they hooked up to sing their newly arranged cover of Phil Collins ‘ 1985 smash “Take Me Home.” The day after the meeting of the vocal-group titans on the CBS awards telecast, LBT and Sugarland have released a studio version of the Collins tune they performed live, along with announcing a joint tour in the fall that will see them hit the road together for 18 dates. Says Fairchild, “We used to hang out with them because we went to see them open up for Brooks and Dunn., and we played cards one night, and then we just became fast friends.” Although LBT has been in existence as a unit slightly longer, Sugarland broke big in country first, so she tells a story of Nettles and Bush being helpful as they struggled.
