Little Big Town Cover Jackson 5 Classic

08/23/2011
. Little Big Town continue their online video series Scattered, Smothered & Covered by going back to the 70's with a playful spin on "I Want You Back" by The Jackson 5.

The foursome is known for switching out lead vocals and this time features Kimberly Schlapman in the spotlight. "I've always been a huge Michael Jackson fan," said Schlapman. "But when we started listening to 'I Want You Back' as a cover song, I realized what a musical genius he was, even as a child."

Shot in the beautiful Carson Center in Paducah, KY on July 15th, the video highlights the bands creativity in not only picking songs, but also using anything they can find to make their cover sound unique. Instruments used for this video are upright base, drums, mandolin, tambourine and a baby rattle courtesy of Karen and Jimi's baby boy, Elijah.
