Little Big Town
Little Big Town's hook is their four-part harmony, and as hooks go, this  one is pretty terrific. There are moments so pretty and folky and sweet they  almost sound like Crosby, Stills, and Nashville. And the fine  wall-of-mostly-acoustic-sound, while at times a little overloaded with drums and  unnecessary instrumentation, generally serves their efforts to penetrate a  market that is at present a little bloated with music that lacks essential  nutrients. To their credit, the band wrote nearly all the tunes on their debut  CD, and, even more laudable, they have chosen to swap lead vocals, risking  audience confusion and the lack of instant recognition that comes with letting  one member run the spotlight. If Little Big Town stand their ground, earn some  character, and occasionally risk a little less production, they may mature into  a fine addition to the vocal harmony tradition.--Henry Cabot Beck
