Little Big Town is getting ready to release the third song from their highly-anticipated 10th studio album, and they’re giving fans a sneak peek. The four-member country band played “Rich Man” live during a Wednesday night (July 20) concert in Highland Park, Illinois.
Little Big Town — Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook — previously played the soon-to-release track on CMT Campfire Sessions. The song, written by Westbrook, will be available on Friday (July 22), the group announced earlier this week when they confirmed details about their upcoming album, Mr. Sun.
“Mr. Sun is intentionally an emotional record that holds hands well with our last album Nightfall,” Fairchild explained of the project. “Mr. Sun is focused on better days ahead, the value of friendships and family; it touches on heartbreak and letting go, but it’s full of sunshine and joy.”
Sweet added that there’s a “special feeling” to this record, having collectively “been through an unprecedented period” in the process of creating it. “Life is short; we are here to live it with the ones around us, loving them and ourselves the best we can. All the while, thankful for another turn around the sun.”
The 16-track album is set to release on September 16.
