  • Karen Fairchild

    I loved hearing from Karen about her life. I’ve loved LBT for many years and last year my husband and I went to their Christmas show at the Ryman. It was his first time hearing them and we both loved the show so much. Being life long New Yorkers living now these past 10 years in Jupiter, Florida we never truly listened to country music. This group is amazing. I listen to them constantly and then to see them in person was wonderful. Thank you Karen for sharing your story and Sid ( I love Southern... more

  • Upbeat & Heartwarming

    Sid is the BEST host!!!! He makes guests feel welcome and allows them to open up to the audience. You can tell he’s done his research in the questions he asks. And I love his regular questions about food and traditions and what it means to be southern. Even when I don’t know the guest, I enjoy every episode. I love learning about people and this is the perfect platform for it.

  • When I want to smile

    Sid feels like a kind friend who I could sit down with and have a sweet tea. He is so good at interviewing all kinds of interesting guests. His voice is soothing and calm and warm, and just makes you want to listen more. He brings out the best in his guests and I always enjoy listening, even when I have not previously known his guests. Excellent podcast. Thank you for reminding me how much I love the South! (Ole Miss grad and now back in the Midwest)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Encore: Dolly Parton Is a Rockstar
Q: Dolly, let's talk about your new book Behind the Seams, My Life in Rhinestones. What did you mean when you said clothes are like songs?
Clothes stir memories and emotions the same way songs do; they tell a story about who you are, where you've been, and the moments that shaped you, so outfits become a personal narrative just as much as lyrics do.
Karen Fairchild on the Dying Art of Country Music
Q: What moment stands out when you realized you had something special with Kimberly and the others?
She recalls the first time the four of them sang together in Kimberly's living room, hearing a rich, angelic texture in the voices that confirmed this was something special, even though their early path was slow and marked by challenges and industry lessons.
Karen Fairchild on the Dying Art of Country Music
Q: I want to ask you about meeting Kimberly. Y'all went to Samford, which is right next door to our office. Why Samford? Why did you choose that school?
Karen explains that attending Samford was influenced by family and friends more than the school's formal music training; a shared choir and dormitory connections fostered their friendship and eventual collaboration, which laid the groundwork for Little Big Town.
Karen Fairchild on the Dying Art of Country Music
Q: Karen, I want to ask you a little bit about your background. Your parents are Southern. They're from small town Tennessee and Alabama, right?
Karen describes a roots-filled upbringing split between Gary, Indiana, and the Deep South, highlighting the blend of Midwestern and Southern influences that shaped her identity and music. She notes how moving between regions enriched her perspective and later drew her toward Nashville and the country music community.
Encore: Maggie Rose Should Not Be Underestimated
Q: What does it mean to you to be Southern?
Being Southern means belonging to a community that celebrates family, music, and food while staying intentional about direction and heritage as one grows and evolves.
