My tunes: Music that shaped My Life Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild discusses her most important songs, albums or concerts.1. The Oak Ridge Boys: This was the first concert I remember seeing as a little girl. We listened to them a lot growing up, obviously that had a huge influence on my love for harmony. My favorite Oaks song was “Leaving Louisiana” by Rodney Crowell. 2. Jonatha Brook, Plumb: I had the pleasure of seeing Jonatha many times as she would pass through Nashville. I’m such an admirer of her writing. My favorite line she ever wrote was from

this record: “you can make the world your apple, take a bite before it sours, you can make the world your charm or your chain.”3. Dolly Parton, “Jolene:” My parents were big fans, especially in the Kenny and Dolly duet days. She was one of the first female singer-songwriter influences I can remember. “Jolene” is still as current and relevant sounding as the day it came out. 4. John Mellencamp: We have had the chance to get to know John over the last few years; he’s been a great encouragement (as only John can be) in our own writing and recording. Last summer John called and asked me to sing on a record he was working on with T Bone Burnett. The songs were amazing and it was a great honor. At the end of the day we were inside the studio talking and snapping a few pictures when John and T Bone started playing and singing their favorite Dylan songs. I stood in between feeling like a silly schoolgirl and wondering how I had gotten there. I was completely mesmerized and unequivocally inspired. 5. Bruce Springsteen, Los Angeles, Oct. 31, 2007: I was already a fan, but this live performance impacted me in a way I will never forget. One of the best shows I have ever seen. Magic had just come out and the crowd knew every word to every song on that record. I’m glad I had the opportunity to experience standing on the floor with all the fanatical Bruce fans and understanding up close why he is the icon he is. • An “important” piece of music you just don’t get: I know they probably sold a whole lot of records, but I never got A Flock Of Seagulls. Didn’t like the hair, didn’t like the outfits, didn’t like the music. Sorry. •� An album you played or listened to incessantly: Mindy Smith’s One Moment More is a brilliant piece of work. It feels like an old friend because I’ve listened to it so much. She has the voice of an angel. When I get to heaven, I want to sound like Mindy.• One obscure or non-country song everyone should listen to right now: If you have lived at all or stopped to contemplate who you are, then you will understand John Mellencamp’s “Longest Days.”
