Co-produced by two-time Grammy-winner Gena Johnson (Jason Isbell, Dolly Parton, Brandi Carlile) and Little Big Town’s own Fairchild, the record blends intimate storytelling, emotional balladry, and standout collaborations with friends including Ashley Monroe, Jason Isbell and Kelsea Ballerini.

“It’s A Dying Art” finds Little Big Town leaning into the sound and spirit of human-made music, embracing imperfection, emotion, and lived experience. Shaped by more than 25 years together, the record reflects the trust and artistry that have long defined the band. Highlighted by the poignant “Hey There Sunshine,” the relationship-worn “The Door” featuring Isbell, the late-night soul of “Closing Time” with Ballerini, the fiery “It’s Coming Around,” and the visceral “The Idea,” the album stands as a reminder of the enduring power of music.

Earlier this month, the group debuted the first offering from the upcoming album, “Hey There Sunshine,” at the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards to widespread praise. The Tennessean called it “a hopeful, healing moment”; while Billboard praised the performance as “a timely message from one of country music’s greatest vocal groups.” Watch the video here.
