Little Big Town - Mr. Sun (Blue Vinyl)

Little Big Town return with their new album, Mr. Sun in 2022. On this 10th studio album, the foursome pulls together an eclectic mix of party anthems, searching ballads, and vibey tunes suited for a sunny day out on the water. That the group recorded the album during the COVID-19 pandemic is most evident within the album’s lyrics, which, though still playful and with a through line of what’s become trademark positivity, include a healthy dose of introspection. It includes "Hell Yeah", "Rich Man", "Better Love", "Three Whiskeys & The Truth".

Opening track “All Summer” is all groove, with soulful guitars and a playful beat soundtracking a glimpse at a romantic day spent in golden sunlight. “Heaven Had a Dance Floor” veers into disco territory, with a groovy beat sure to deliver on the chorus’s plea to “keep the records spinning,” thematically tying into the questions the group pondered while crafting the LP. “Last Day on Earth” is one of the finer examples of the group’s much-lauded harmonies, with their four voices seeming, at times, to blend seamlessly into one rich, complex vocal. And standout “Three Whiskeys and the Truth” finds LBT once again teaming up with the songwriting trio “the Love Junkies” (Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna, and Liz Rose), with whom the band famously wrote their massive 2014 hit “Girl Crush".
