As part of Radio 2's coverage of the Country Music Association awards, tonight's programme features a specially recorded acoustic session with Group of the Year nominees Little Big Town.

With top ten country hits including 'Boondocks', 'Bring it on home' and 'Little White Church', Little Big town is a vocal country quartet made up of Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook. Formed in Nashville in 1998 the band gained a contract with Mercury Records and made their first public performance at the Grand Ole Opry the following year. After losing two record deals, and going through a period of personal trauma (Jimi's father died, Karen and Philip both went through divorces and Kimberley's husband died of a heart attack at just 41) they eventually signed to Equity Music in 2005 and released their second album 'The Road To Here'. The album yielded two top 10 country singles 'Boondocks' and 'Bring It On Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ'. Their follow-up album 'A Place to Land' was released in 2007, and a year later they charted along with Sugarland and Jake Owen on a live cover of The Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town".
In tonight's session, which was recorded in Nashville in September, the band perform an acoustic versions of 'All the way down' from their new album 'The Reason Why', along with their 2005 song 'Bones'.
