PLAY: Little Big Town, “The Reason Why”

Pegged as a countryfied latter-day Fleetwood Mac, Little Big Town is really… a countryfied latter-day Fleetwood Mac. Is that so wrong? “The Reason Why” is unapologetically corporate country music. But it’s the one floor of the corporation where everyone shows up for causal Fridays. You’ll hate yourself for singing these hooky songs in the executive wash room. Little Big Town will destroy all the cool, indie cred you’ve been working so hard to build. Still, show me any Brooklyn noise band that can sing harmonies so sweet, write so infectiously, and play with such enthusiasm. There, I said it. And there goes my Coachella pass for next year.
