If you’ve ever nursed a heartbreak with a whiskey and a jukebox, Little Big Town have written your new favorite ballad. The multi-platinum, GRAMMY-winning quartet — Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet, and Jimi Westbrook — have just shared “Sucker For A Sad Song,” a swaggering, easygoing new single featuring the incomparable Ashley Monroe.

Written by Fairchild alongside Monroe and Shelby Lynne (a songwriting trio that reads like a country music dream team), the track leans into clever wordplay and a slow-burning groove that feels lived-in from the first bar. It’s the opening cut on Little Big Town’s forthcoming album It’s A Dying Art, arriving August 28 via MCA, and it sets the tone perfectly: intimate, honest, and unapologetically human.

Co-produced by two-time GRAMMY winner Gena Johnson (Jason Isbell, Dolly Parton, Brandi Carlile) and Karen Fairchild herself, It’s A Dying Art is a love letter to the kind of music you can hear the fingerprints on. The record leans into imperfection, emotional balladry, and the sort of chemistry a band only earns after 25-plus years of showing up for each other. Along with Monroe, the album features guest turns from Jason Isbell on the relationship-worn “The Door” and Kelsea Ballerini on the late-night soul burner “Closing Time,” plus standouts like the fiery “It’s Coming Around” and the visceral “The Idea.”

Fans got their first taste of the record with “Hey There Sunshine,” which debuted at the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards to widespread praise — The Tennessean called it “a hopeful, healing moment,” while Billboard hailed it as “a timely message from one of country music’s greatest vocal groups.” Follow-up single “Over and Over” earned another Billboard nod as a “top-shelf post-breakup anthem.”

For the collectors: Little Big Town also just announced an exclusive D2C “Champagne” vinyl variant of It’s A Dying Art, signed by the band and available in limited quantities at littlebigtown.com while supplies last.

On the live front, the band is heading to Nashville’s Nissan Stadium this Saturday, June 27, to perform at Alan Jackson’s Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale, the final full-length concert of Jackson’s touring career. They’ll also hit the TODAY Plaza on September 1 as part of TODAY’s Citi Concert Series before launching their For The Art Of It Tour, produced by Live Nation, on September 24 in St. Petersburg, FL. The run winds through Atlanta, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Toronto, and beyond through November.

Pre-order/pre-save It’s A Dying Art, grab tickets, and dig into “Sucker For A Sad Song” now — because if the opening track is any indication, this one’s going to be on repeat well into the fall.
