"Rich Man" from LBT drops

Friday, December 16, 2022 – Little Big Town's latest music video for "Rich Man" is out now.

Off their 10th studio album," Mr Sun," "Rich Man" was written by LBT's Jimi Westbrook over the course of the last decade. The video features Charles Esten ("Outer Banks," "Nashville"), who plays the central role of a father.

Produced and filmed by Running Bear Films in Nashville, the video is a nostalgic film paying homage to good men, hardworking people and loving families everywhere. It tells the story of a young boy and his relationship with his father (Esten) over the course of time. Interwoven with a performance by Little Big Town, the video ends with a Westbrook himself playing the older grown-up version of the little boy.

"'Rich Man' has a special place in my heart, and I've been touched by the response it's gotten from the record and playing it on the road. We wanted the video to show the love of family and love of a father. This song makes me think of my own dad, and I wanted to honor that as well as the heart I have for my son," said Westbrook. "Making this with Charles, the other actors, and, of course, Karen, Kimberly and Phillip, was really a labor of love."

LBT's Karen Fairchild said, "'Rich Man' tells the story of how the deep roots of family ground us and give us the space to flourish and become who we are meant to be. True wealth is the story of this song."

CD review - Mr. Sun Little Big Town has always been one of the more consistently good modern country groups. This latest album, not surprisingly, is also good. However, it's not exceptional. Sure, the quartet explores the happy and sad sides of love and romance, as per usual, but few tracks rise far above the merely good level. Karen Fairchild sings lead on "Three Whiskeys and the Truth," and is a dead ringer for Lady A's Hillary Scott. This is somewhat ironic, as Lady A is probably the ...
CD review - Nightfall Little Big Town gets billed as a country music vocal group, but "Nightfall" plays out more like a four-headed singer-songwriter effort. Many of these songs hearken back to some of the best '70s introspective songwriter efforts. The album opens with "Next to You," which builds from a gentle meditation, into a full-on anthemic ode to the comfort and strength of fidelity. "Questions" interestingly finds an ex asking questions via song lyrics, which she can never ...
CD review - The Breaker Anyone who missed Little Big Town's remarkable 2012 Unplugged performance on CMT should seek it out online. When they sing their monster hit "Pontoon," four hypnotic voices combine to harmonic perfection with no studio tricks - pick from any of the microphones, and it works as the song's lead vocal. But now that the group has ascended to the upper rung of stardom, different challenges arise. How do you compete with yourself fresh from a Grammy for Best Country Song ...
