Sugarland w/ Billy Currington and Matt Nathanson

With their sharp songwriting and agreeable, rock ’n’ roll edge, Sugarland emerged mid-century as contemporary country music’s commercial and critical darlings, their appeal reaching beyond the usual country faithful. Sugarland’s 2008 album, Love on the Inside, was recorded with minimal overdubsa rarity in the overproduced world of modern countrybut this year’s Live on the Inside wasn’t nearly so anti-establishment. It was released exclusively throughyou guessed itWal-Mart.
