"Day Drinking" - Little Big Town Review

Brace yourselves! Because Little Big Town has come with the song of the summer. No, not a song for the summer, THE song of the summer. Just like Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Luvin’” was created specifically for the 2012 SuperBowl, “Day Drinking” was written with the summer in mind. Yes, they knew what they were doing, and it will pay off! The song’s not only catchy, it is actually good. Just when people started classifying everything that involved drinking in the “bro-country” area, LBT comes with this song that proves that whole idea wrong.

The song starts off with a whistle that though it has been overused in the last few years, works perfectly with the sound they created for this song. I loved the whistle with the marching-band sound in the background; it really sets the tone for Karen Fairchild’s verses. It’s obvious they are trying to re-create the success they had with “Pontoon”, putting Fairchild in the lead and coming with this feel-good song. But, does it matter? They know what the public likes and what works for them, and that’s exactly what they’re giving, on steroids. The song has a catchy hook and it has a lot of crossover potential with this fun-summery lyrics that will make you want to stand up at the beach party even if you’re usually a sitter.

Without a doubt, this song will be a hit not only on the country Airwaves but at the global charts, if they play their cards right. This is the perfect song to lead their new album and keep them at the top of their game.
