Little Big Town, ‘Shut Up Train’ — New Video

"The band always envisioned this video in black and white from the very beginning," Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild tells the Huffington Post, regarding the country quartet's brand-new music video for 'Shut Up Train.' "The thing we are so pleased with is how timeless it looks. It could have been shot now, or it could have been shot in the '60s. There's nothing that distracts you visually from the band's performance."

The intimate clip, directed by Becky Fluke (who also directed 'Barton Hollow' for the Civil Wars and 'Hell on Heels' with Pistol Annies), is the third music video from the Little Big Town's 2010 album, 'The Reason Why.' [Watch it below.] "We love the way it turned out," says Karen. "It's lonely and uncomfortable, which is exactly what it needed to be.

"There really wasn't a plan to release 'Shut Up Train' to the fans originally," the songbird continues. "It was a song the four of us agreed needed to have a life before we moved on to a new record, so we took off to hire a director on our own. We really believe the fans are gonna relate to this song. Everyone has struggled with something that they need to let go of but can't."

Although none of the band's four members had a hand in writing the acoustic ballad, Karen admits that the song was a privilege for them to record. "When I get a chance to get in the studio and sing a song like 'Shut Up Train,' I can get lost inside a lyric. I love to sing an emotional lyric like that and know that that's recorded forever and is there to always share with our fans."

Little Big Town scored a Top 10 hit with 'Little White Church,' the first single from their latest project, which also earned the band a Grammy nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Vocal Performance in 2011. In May, 'Shut Up Train' topped our list of 'Country Songs That Aren't Singles ... Yet.' Looks like our wish came true!
