Pain Killer

Editors’ Notes Following up the platinum breakthrough of Tornado is no easy trick, but Little Big Town pull it off by playing to their strengths—great songs, chilling harmonies, and fierce performances. Besides the excellent collaborations with Natalie Hemby (who penned Tornado's biggest hits), we love Pain Killer’s mix of country earthiness, rock ‘n’ roll edge, and pop-savvy hooks. The sassy, soulful tones of Karen Fairchild dominate, but all four members take brilliant turns at the mic, from the barnstorming "Save Your Sin" to the slow-burning soul of "Girl Crush.” Still, it’s the band’s signature four-part harmonies on cuts like "Silver and Gold” that make Pain Killer so gratifying.
