Music: Little Big Town band: "Pontoon"

I liked the way this song buzzed along, with its emphatic lines punctuating nicely, and making the song almost a jingle, a very enjoyable jingle.   The life style exhibted is very different from mine, but hey, why shoud I huff and puff about it?  I like the song and the fun everyone is having, fancy drinks and all.

“I am so excited for people to hear this new record,” Jimi Westbrook said. “We worked with Jay Joyce and he really pushed us to be in the moment. There was such an amazing energy between all of us in the studio and I think you can feel it.”

The album’s lead single, “Pontoon,” was released to radio in April and is currently in the Top 15.  The track is Little Big Town’s fasting rising single to date and is No. 1 on the Soundscan Digital Country chart for the second week in a row. “Pontoon” has sold over 520,000 tracks in only eight weeks.

To celebrate the upcoming release of Tornado, Little Big Town launched a new website at www.littlebigtown.com this week.
