Little Big Town talked to the press today about their 2nd annual Ride for the Cure and their new album backstage at the CMA Music Festival.

The group, which recently moved to Capitol Records, announced they will re-release their latest album, A Place To Land, in the fall. The quartet is recording 4 new songs for the project, which will also include the release of "Life In A Northern Town" with Sugarland and Jake Owen.

"[Life in a Northern Town] is one of those things where we had talked about doing something with them and Kristian [Bush of Sugarland] suggested the song," Jimi Westbrook said. "We wanted big vocals, this epic thing. A montage was put together to thank CMT for sponsoring the tour, that got the ball rolling, and it’s been amazing."

A new single, "Fine Line," will be released next week and the group will be filming the video in the coming weeks.

As part of the CMA Music Festival, Little Big Town will host their 2nd Annual Ride for the Cure motorcycle ride. The ride ends with a jam session with particpants. Proceeds benefit the TJ Martell.

"We wanted to do something to bring people together to raise money for a great cause," said member Phillip Sweet." Karen Fairchild added, "we worked with them at 'Country in the Rockies' so it seemed like a natural fit."
