We are just one week away from the release of Little Big Town’s highly-anticipated fifth studio album, Tornado. The title certainly describes what is going on in the band’s career, as well as the process of recording the album. “It definitely, to me, describes how the album happened,” laughs LBT’s Jimi Westbrook. “The recording process alone was this big storm that happened, and it was fast and furious and then it was just gone and over. I feel like that really is a good description of that.”T

Tornado, which is set for release September 11th, includes their new No. 1 single, “Pontoon.”

The group will appear on ABC’s Good Morning America (September 10th) with a performance during the premiere week of The Ellen DeGeneres Show (September 13th). The band will also perform on the upcoming ABC Television Special CMA MUSIC FESTIVAL: COUNTRY’S NIGHT TO ROCK (September 17th) and will also be featured on CMT’s Unplugged Series which will premiere on CMT.com September 11th and on CMT September 18th.

“I think Tornado describes the album. It definitely, to me, describes how the album happened.” [laughs] KIMBERLY: “Yes.” JIMI: “The recording process alone was this big storm that happened, and it was fast and furious and then it was just gone and over. I feel like that really is a good description of that, and it’s a song on the record that we love.”
