A 'Tornado' was unleashed on the 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' set Wednesday night (Sept. 26), as Little Big Town performed the title track of their latest studio album for the very first time on television during the popular late night talk show.
The performers for the 2012 CMA Awards have been announced, and the list contains some of the biggest names in country music today. The 46th Annual CMA Awards will broadcast live from Nashville on Nov. 1 at 8PM ET on ABC, hosted once again by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood.
'Tornado' is a bold choice for Little Big Town's next single, as it takes on another storm song from a country music superstar with more clout -- Carrie Underwood. As an album, 'Tornado' is sharp and uncompromising, so this brashness should come as no surprise. Few will argue that there isn't room for both of these heavyweights on iPods and country radio.
While artists like Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood left fans at the 2012 CMA Music Festival sore from dancing, Little Big Town created a slow and sexy groove with their summertime hit 'Pontoon.' The chart-topping song was still new to radio in June when the ABC special was taped, but the crowd left no doubt that the foursome had a hit on their hands.
It's been dubbed the "summertime song," and since there is still a bit of summer left, it's only fitting that Little Big Town continue to hold down the No. 1 position on the country singles chart with their smash, 'Pontoon.'
Count ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ among the stops on the Little Big Town promotional tour for the release of their new CD ‘Tornado’. The band stopped by Thursday to play their first ever #1 song, ‘Pontoon’ for Ellen and the audience.

To promote their upcoming album, 'Tornado,' Little Big Town hit the small screen bright and early on Thursday for a performance on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show.' The award-winning foursome was all smiles as they took the stage to perform 'Pontoon' for a crowd.
Little Big Town assert themselves as a vocal quartet with real power and attitude on their new album 'Tornado.' The project -- their most consistent and satisfying yet -- sheds the milquetoast midtempo exercises that bogged down previous albums in favor of ones with true grit.
Little Big Town are absolute originals. The country foursome and 'Pontoon' hitmakers have stood the test of time -- as well as numerous personal lows and highs. As the genre pendulums between pop and traditional trends, Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman, Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook have never compromised their unique harmonies or blunted their sharp, descriptive lyrics. They've stayed true to a scenic winding road built just for them, even if at times it took them out of public eye for a bit.
After a decade and then some of trying to achieve the greatest accomplishment of all, country foursome Little Big Town have finally done so this week. Their current single, 'Pontoon,' tops both the Billboard and Mediabase/Country Aircheck country singles chart.
The sing-along song of the summer has burned up the request lines this summer and has now given the group Little Big Town a platinum record. Not only that but the song is the highest-charting song ever for the group and their first #1 hit.
With the fall season quickly approaching, folks start putting their hearts to good use by helping the less fortunate as we enter into the holiday season. The members of Little Big Town are doing just that by partnering with ConAgra Foods to help with the company’s Child Hunger Ends Here campaign.
