A vocal quartet that found their footing with 'The Road to Here' and kept evolving through songs like 'Girl Crush.'
For their harmonies, try 'Somewhere Far Away.' For their storytelling reach, 'Girl Crush' still lands with that emotional directness.
Their vocal blend became the group's defining feature from the start. Songs like 'Girl Crush' showed they could handle emotional directness that resonated widely, even when it sparked conversation. The harmonies on tracks like 'Wine, Beer, Whiskey' and 'Somewhere Far Away' keep their sound recognizable years after that 1999 formation.
They formed in 1999 when Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman met at a songwriting workshop, then brought in Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook. Their debut came in 2002, but things shifted with 2005's 'The Road to Here,' which included the hit 'Boondocks.' That started a run of albums through the 2000s and 2010s.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
