Little Big Town at the Tabernacle 1/30/09
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I checked out Little Big Town at the Tabernacle, which features two Georgia women: Lassiter High School grad Karen Fairchild and Cornelia, Ga. native Kimberly Roads.
The band nearly sold out the Tabernacle Friday night, a testament to a lot of touring over the years and a couple of big hits, including Grammy-nominated “Boondocks.”
ABOVE: Jimi Westbrook.
Besides many of their best-known songs (“I’m With the Band,” “Fine Line,” “Bring It On Home”), they threw in a few covers by bands they admire. The band did a rugged version of “The Chain” by Fleetwood Mac, which also featured multiple male/female harmonies and interchanging lead singers. It also did “Heartache Tonight” by the Eagles, another band with multiple lead singers. And they did a lovely a capella version of Coldplay’s “Fix You” and a surprise hit a couple years ago with ’80s hit “Life in a Northern Town” (which they did with Jake Owen and Sugarland on tour and for the CMT Awards.)
Here are a few more photos I took.

Karen and Jimi, who are married, work the crowd.
I did a video of the band’s hit “Boondocks” here on YouTube. Notice how Karen and Kimberly both take audience members’ cel phones and record themselves while performing. Cute!
