LITTLE BIG TOWN’S DAY OF DRINKING IS PERFECT. (AUDIO)

LITTLE BIG TOWN’S DAY OF DRINKING IS PERFECT. (AUDIO)

Little Big Town premiered the video for their latest hit, “Day Drinking,” this week, and it looks like they had a blast. They filmed the clip in Miami with director DeClan Whitebloom (Taylor Swift, Sugarland, One Direction, The Band Perry), and at first the forecast was predicting less than sunny weather.

“We thought it was gonna rain. Like, all week it had said 60 percent chance of rain, 75 percent chance of rain,” says LBT’s Jimi Westbrook. “And even that morning when we got up, it was supposed to be, but it turned out perfect and beautiful.”

“The night before when we had supper with DeClan Whitebloom, the director, somebody said, ‘OK, what are we gonna do if it rains tomorrow? He wouldn’t even entertain the thought,” recalls Kimberly Schlapman. “He was like, ‘I can’t think about that. That’s not gonna happen. That’s not gonna happen.’ And it didn’t.”

JIMI: “We went down to Miami [Florida], and it was a perfect, beautiful day. We thought it was gonna rain. There was, like, all week it had said 60 percent chance of rain, 75 percent chance of rain. And even that morning when we got up, it was supposed to be, but it turned out perfect and beautiful.” PHILLIP: “Spending a day on the beach is not a bad way to shoot a video.” JIMI: “Not a bad day’s work.” KIMBERLY: “The night before when we had supper with DeClan Whitebloom, the director, somebody said, ‘OK, what are we gonna do if it rains tomorrow? He wouldn’t even entertain the thought. Did you notice? He was like, ‘I can’t think about that. That’s not gonna happen. That’s not gonna happen.’ And it didn’t.” [laughter] PHILLIP: “It was fun…the traffic part of it, it was interesting. That was the hardest we worked all day.” KIMBERLY: “In that car, in that beautiful old…(EVERYONE) El Dorado.”
