Little Big Town – consisting of Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook – are releasing their tenth studio album, Mr. Sun. The story behind its creation was unlike any of their previous albums. Due to the pandemic, the band was not touring and was separated for the first time in their 20-year history. The resilience and creativity that emerged from those months revealed a deep appreciation for one another and for the privilege of making music – ultimately inspiring the self-produced Mr. Sun, which possesses both the brilliance of storytelling and the heat of truthfulness that only Little Big Town can. "Mr. Sun is intentionally an emotional record that fits well with our last album, Nightfall," Fairchild previously shared. "Mr. Sun focuses on better days ahead, the value of friendships and family; it touches on heartbreak and letting go, but it's full of sunshine and joy."
