After picking up the trophy for Vocal Group of the Year at this month’s CMA Awards, Little Big Town revealed that they’ve been “writing songs like crazy” for the follow-up to their platinum-selling Tornado album. Their win for the second year in a row gives the band a little extra inspiration. “This is just such a big honor and you want to live up to it, and all we ever wanted to do was make music together and to make music for the fans and we’re getting to do that on a bigger platform because of things like this,” says the band’s Karen Fairchild. “We can’t hang our hat on it, but it definitely inspires us towards the future.”

Little Big Town is currently making their way up the country charts with “Sober.”
