For the group’s 25th anniversary, Little Big Town is pouring some sugar on it. 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. The tour starts Oct. 24 in Greenville, Sc and wraps Dec. 13 with a hometown show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

In 2008, Lbt and Sugarland, along with Jake Owen, performed the Dream Academy’s hit “Life in a Northern Town” at the CMT Awards.

Today’s country artists love to namecheck icons like Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings in their songs and during interviews. But sonically, they owe their greatest debt to Jimmy Buffett, whose tropical vibes, beachy imagery, and ocean escapism has shaped the last two decades of mainstream country. Buffett died Friday at 76, leaving an undeniable legacy that is still heard in the songs of country radio and warrants future induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

The Cadillac Three aren’t the Partridge Family — they don’t all live together. So it’s been next to impossible for band members Jaren Johnston, Kelby Ray, and Neil Mason to spontaneously play an online concert for their fans once the pandemic set in.

Jennifer Nettles has released a new recording of “Tomorrow” from the Broadway musical Annie. The Sugarland singer and Broadway performer put the song and an accompanying video out as a gesture of hope and support during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Nettles’ interpretation of the standard, featuring musician and composer Alex Lacamoire, keeps things relatively stripped-down and simple, with only Nettles’ voice and a lovely piano part. A powerhouse singer who previously starred as Roxie Hart in the Broadway cast of Chicago, Nettles holds back through the first part of the song,...

Jennifer Nettles channels the dueling pain and beauty of womanhood in her moving new solo track “I Can Do Hard Things,” which she introduced today with a short essay.
Accompanied only by some understated guitars and drums, “I Can Do Hard Things” finds its fulcrum on the powerhouse Sugarland singer’s vocal, which is tough and gentle in equal turns. She ponders the apparent absolutes of life which, over time and especially through motherhood, she has come to see soften and blur, containing within them the sheer vastness of life.

Five summers ago, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush found themselves in Las Vegas performing for fans at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. After singing "All I Want to Do," "Baby Girl," "Stay" and other hits, the pair who makes up Sugarland decided to take a hiatus. While some country music fans feared they would never see the duo making new music together again, they were proven wrong. Not only is Sugarland releasing a new album, but they also have a brand-new tour kicking off tonight at the Choctaw Grand Theater in Oklahoma. "We never said that we wouldn't [reunite]. That...

Two-and-a-half weeks out from the launch of Taylor Swift’s ‘Reputation’ tour, the singer’s newest song comes not directly from her but from Sugarland. “Babe,” the third track from Sugarland’s forthcoming album “Bigger” (out June 8 on Big Machine), features Swift on prominent backing vocals and was co-written by her with Train’s Pat Monahan. While not straight-up country, the song is a return to Swift’s pre-“1989” pop style.
“We’ve never put someone else’s song on a Sugarland record, but we were immediately interested in ‘Babe’ the first time we heard it!” said the group’s Jennifer Nettles. “This one really felt like it belonged so we saved it for the final afternoon of our recording session; a special time for us.”

Sugarland brought in some A-list assistance for the song "Babe." Taylor Swift, who transitioned out of country and into pop in 2014, wrote the song with Train frontman Pat Monahan. Last fall, she offered the track to Sugarland for their album, Bigger (out June 8 on Big Machine Records and Universal Music Group Nashville). "This collaboration is the perfect combination of mutual admiration for each other and mutual admiration for great songs," Jennifer Nettles said Friday. "As artists, we really see the world through a similar lens." "Our last hours in the studio have always been good luck," guitarist/vocalist Kristian Bush said.

ETonline has an exclusive look behind the scenes of his zombified 'Trailer Hitch' music video.
As Sugarland's Kristian Bush steps out from Jennifer Nettles' shadow, he's been met with one resounding response: "Who are you?"
"Most people don't know my name," he admits to ETonline. "People are looking at me funny – I think they have low expectations."

Jennifer Nettles surely is more comfortable hosting "Cma Country Christmas" this time.
When she filled that role on the ABC special last year, the Sugarland vocalist was about to deliver her first baby. In the same month her son marks his first birthday, Nettles is back for her fourth round introducing a parade of country artists performing seasonal favorites in the two-hour show Monday, Dec. 2.
(ABC repeats it both Saturday, Dec. 14, and Sunday, Dec. 22.)
"One of the things I had hoped for this show was for it to become a tradition," Nettles tells Zap2it. "As a new mom, I'm hyper-aware of that now. This is what families do; they start traditions. Things start to take on a different meaning when you're a family."
Other members of the country music "family" in the newest "Cma Country Christmas" include Lady Antebellum, Trace Adkins, Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts, Hunter Hayes, Kellie Pickler,...
