Listen to Little Big Town's 'Wine, Beer, Whiskey' and You'll Understand Why This Song Makes Me So Angry

Little Big Town has long been one of country music's most beloved quartets, but their latest single release, 'Wine, Beer, Whiskey,' has left me feeling nothing but frustration. The song's trend-hopping attempt to revive the band's flagging career comes across as lazy and disheartening.

With a debut at number one on Billboard's Country Chart for their 9th studio album Nightfall last year, it seemed like Little Big Town was still going strong. But 'Over Drinking' only managed to reach #49 on the airplay chart, and 'The Daughters' failed to even make an appearance on the chart. It seems that 'Wine, Beer, Whiskey' is just another desperate attempt at reviving their career.

The song's lyrics are a laundry list of the band members' favorite drinks, with Jimi Westbrook praising whiskey as his go-to libation and Karen Fairchild enjoying a good red wine. The others prefer beer or wine, with Kimberly Schlapman mentioning her canned wine brand, Day Drinking. It's all so... basic.

But what really grinds my gears is the song's writing credits. 'Wine, Beer, Whiskey' was penned by Tofer Brown, Sean McConnell, and Little Big Town themselves - in under an hour, no less! It's clear that this song was a fun little moment of levity for the band and their co-writers, but it's not exactly high art.

The song is meant to be a celebration of friendship and camaraderie, with nods to friends named Jack, Jose, Brandy, Sherry, and Captain. But instead of feeling like a heartfelt tribute, 'Wine, Beer, Whiskey' comes across as shallow and uninspired. It's the perfect song for these trying times we've been going through, but not in a good way.

In short, 'Wine, Beer, Whiskey' is a lazy, disheartening attempt at trend-hopping from Little Big Town. If this is the best they can come up with, it's no wonder their career has been stagnating lately.
