Although Little Big Town are a contemporary Nashville country act, their debut album, A PLACE TO LAND, has much in common with the dusty country rock of Laurel Canyon circa 1973: the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, and even RUMOURS-era Fleetwood Mac are all present and accounted for. But looming largest over A PLACE TO LAND is the spirit of Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris; Harris's "Evangeline" is one of two covers on this mellow, largely acoustic pop-rock album. minimize
