i love the fact that LBT are different , cause that makes them different to the rest of them ( eg: Rascall Flatts , Lady A ) okay i am fans of them to but i am more of a Little Big Town fan and have been since 2003 when there self-tilted album came out .

So what if they dont have a lead singer but they have the Harmonies , the Talent etc !!! that is who LBT is the are amazing just they way they are .

If LBT had they same promotion & money ( eg: Taylor Swift , Brad Paisley ( love Brad ) ) they would more likely be a big as Rascall Flatts or Sugarland , LBT arent going to change just because one person doesnt like that they dont have one front lead singer ..!!!

LBT are who they are cause they are different and unique , us Townies ” Fans ” LOVE them they way they are we would never want the m to change cause they not only make amazing music but there music has a meaning it isnt just a song that an artist has wrote it is a story of love , heartbreak etc. that is what we really love about LBT they (even if you havent meet them or seen they in concert )they make you feel like you arent just there fans but more like there freinds ….!!!!

I saw Little Big Town in concert last night. They kept the crowd until the last drumstick hit the drum… and then some. They have it right. They do not need to fit the mold that some people think make a band. Their variety of sound will last because each song has its merit and does not sound like the last.

Good question – I do think they have yet to forge a distinct identity but I’m not sure that picking a lead singer would change anything.

All of the singers in this group are good but none of them are great (or terribly distinctive), meaning it is unlikely any one of them could successfully split off for a solo career. This also means that LBT is only as good as their material and no better

I wouldn’t want Little Big Town to pick a lead singer and put the rest in the background, we have enough of those kind of acts in this decade. The only thing Little Big Town need to worry about is their music and making it better and better. Lady A may have gotten more attention this past year but I think Little Big Town will become the next big country group in the coming years, and IMO will be the country version of Fleetwood Mac, hopefully, without all the drama.

I am a huge fan of Little Big Town and each member brings their own personality to the group–plus all four of them can sing and write songs as well!! They just got lost in the shuffle when their record label did them dirty–they were never promoted or anything else except what Karen Fairchild did on her own!! Versality in a group is great because each song sounds different whereas in some groups after so many hits all their songs start to sound the same (quite a few groups are going through this right now) I think that if LBT had the right promotion and money (such as Taylor Swift did) they by now would be as big as Rascal Flatts and Sugarland!!

As a Minneapolis native this isn’t the only time I have disagreed with Mr. Bream, when the Pretenders were just here he said Chrissy just wasn’t sassy enough for his tastes. Jeez. The beauty of the LBT is it’s ablity to tailor songs to individual vocalists and then blend them as a group.In this part of the maturation of the band it works wonderfully. I believe as they grow it will happen naturally as they fill out so to speak. I love this band on disc and live. My fiance and I walked out of the LBT show last year amazed at the energy that filled the room. I turned to her and said they are going to be huge. like the Eagles. Will they get the radio play they need to ascend to those heights? Probably not but now days that seems more like a badge of honor.

Stronger material/solid identity wouldn’t hurt ‘em no matter who’s singing lead. Read a review that said they were good, but tepid. That about sums it up I think.

I agree with the majority here in that, Little Big Town’s approach is refreshing to hear, but they need a stronger identity. Having a lead singer would ruin their sound.

[...] Country Universe’s Lynn Douglas asks: “Do you believe that a country group needs a lead singer in order for the band to reach that next level?” [...]

Since they’ve all got good voices, it seems, It’d probably be hard for them to choose a lead singer, which is one of the reasons that their lack of lead isn’t my problem with them. I just wish I enjoyed them on record as much as I do when I even hear them on live performances. I’d probably pick up a live album from them, assuming it would translate.
