Little Big Town and Sugarland, whose members are longtime friends and collaborators, warmed up for the tour during Sunday night’s CMT Music Awards with a world premiere performance of their new song Take Me Home. The song was written and originally released by pop star Phil Collins in 1985.
“Last night felt like a real homecoming for us and a full circle moment,” Little Big Town said in a news release. “When we toured with Sugarland last, we would all be backstage harmonizing different cover songs to try and surprise the audience every night. There’s something about this song that feels so nostalgic of that time. It really is like coming home.”
Little Big Town is celebrating its 25th anniversary as one of country music’s most successful group. Sugarland has sold nearly 10 million albums over the past two-plus decades.
