Sugarland goes deluxe
Monday, October 11, 2010 – Sugarland will release a deluxe edition of its upcoming CD, "The Incredible Machine," on Oct. 19. In addition to the 11 songs, all co-written and co-produced by Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, the deluxe effort offers a documentary, "Blood Love Hope Lust and Steam," that chronicles the creation of the album and tour of the same name. The package also includes the music video for the lead-off hit single Stuck Like Glue, a never-before-seen live performance music video for the title track.
The single was certified Gold for digital downloads. "We are in a place of discovery," Nettles said. "It is the essence of who we are as people in this band."
Bush said, "It's just the two of us. In the story of who we are, this album is more us than we've ever been."
The pair teamed up with iTunes to offer an album countdown promotion to fans, which makes a new track from their upcoming fourth record available every Tuesday from now until Oct. 19. Available now for download are the title track and Wide Open. Little Miss will be posted Oct. 12. With the purchase of each countdown track, a credit in the amount spent will be applied to the overall price of the album on street date.

CD reviews for Sugarland
It almost goes without saying that in today's fickle music world you have to constantly be atop your game, generating new content lest your listeners move on to the next selection in their Spotify shuffle. Thus, artists can't be content with dropping a new album every year or two and resting on their past accomplishments; now they've got to churn out EP's, live recordings and more to keep their audience satiated and satisfied. Realizing this truth, country duo Sugarland fights ...
Sugarland is back with "Bigger," its first studio album in nearly a decade. And its arrival says more about branding, than anything else. Although his voice is heard often enough on this album to make his presence felt, it's still difficult to get away from seeing Kristian Bush in the Oates to Hall or Ridgeley to Michael role in this duo. Jennifer Nettles is the act's primary focus. However, Nettles plays theaters on tour, while Sugarland fills stadiums, making it a commercial no-brainer. ...
"The Incredible Machine" is a rather unfortunate title for Sugarland's latest full-length. Listening to Find The Beat Again, for example, makes it sound as though vocalist Jennifer Nettles wants to be Deborah Harry-fronting-Katrina & the Waves rather than, say, a latter-day Loretta Lynn.
