The Country Music Association is so television-connected these days, if it's given you an award, chances are good it will call on you again.
Little Big Town now knows that for a fact. The reigning vocal group of the year after last fall's Cma Awards, the foursome that recently scored its second platinum-selling album ("Tornado") presides over the annual ABC special "Cma Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock" Monday, Aug. 12.

Little Big Town knows it's optimal to have an album go platinum while its latest single is climbing the charts.
The country-music group is experiencing that, having scored their second platinum designation last week for "Tornado," their fifth studio release and the source of the song "Your Side of the Bed." As the quartet continues a busy summer of touring -- next placing them in Cincinnati on Thursday (July 18) -- they're happy the tune is getting such a boost.
"'Elated' is a word that comes to mind," Little Big Town member Phillip Sweet tells Zap2it of going platinum again after "The Road to Here" in 2005. "To see this momentum grow and grow, and to see the fans connect to something in the songs, I think that's all you ever want as a musician."
"And 'Your Side of the Bed' is just getting started," adds Karen Fairchild, who's married to bandmate Jimi Westbrook.
