Little Big Town Releasing New Album, Pain Killer, This Week

(Radio.com) After a summer spent "Day Drinking," it's time for a Pain Killer. No we're not advocating aspirin or other over-the-counter relief. We're talking about the newest studio album from country quartet Little Big Town, which is set to drop this Tuesday (Oct. 21). Pain Killer is the title of the group's sixth studio album, and in honor of this release, Little Big Town is Radio.com's Impact artist this week.

"We knew the record was going to be called Pain Killer way on into the process because we love that song," bandmember Karen Fairchild told Rolling Stone Country in July. "That song is really kind of tongue-in-cheek - 'be the person that numbs my pain.' We started talking about tying that thread through the whole record, to ease your pain. Don't we want the whole record to do that for people, anyway? Whether it's a sad moment, or a song that's more thoughtful and has a lot more substance in the lyric, we want music to take us away. Pain Killer fits, that's the common thread through all the songs."

As for "Day Drinking," that was the album's catchy lead single, released at the start of the summer. And if it didn't inspire actual quaffing of beverages, it certainly led to plenty of singing along-no wonder, then, that the song has reached the Top 10 of the country singles charts.

"It's completely fun," said Fairchild at the time of the song's release this past June. "It kind of led the way on the record. You've got to find one or two pieces that feel like, 'Ah, this is worthy of building this whole record around.'"
