Eagles’ Influence Soars To Other Genres
The Eagles may have been a rock band, but their influence has reached beyond the rock genre. Their music is so iconic, that it is enjoyed by fans of all genres, including country.
One of the Eaglesâ most popular songs of all time was their 1979 single, âHeartache Tonight.â

Featured on the groupâs album The Long Run, âHeartache Tonightâ topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also claimed the top spot on the charts in Canada, and broke into the Top Ten on several charts around the world.
All these years later, and âHeartache Tonightâ is still a major crowd-pleaser. So you can bet that the crowd goes wild whenever someone decides to cover the song at one of their own concerts.
A Country Take On A Rock Classic
Such was the case when Little Big Town performed âHeartache Tonightâ during their set at Luke Bryanâs 2017 Crash My Playa.
Joined by country singer Kelleigh Bannen, Little Big Town ended up delivering a cover of âHeartache Tonightâ that brought down the house.
Luckily, a fan captured the moment on film and shared the video online for all to see. The crowd was hooked on Little Big Townâs performance from the get-go, and could be heard singing along to every word.
This performance perfectly showcases Little Big Townâs greatest strength, their impeccable harmonies. There are so many moments throughout this performance where their harmonies can only be described as jaw-dropping.
Once Little Big Town brought their performance to a conclusion, the crowd rewarded them with a thunderous round of cheers and applause. Itâs clear they enjoyed what they heard!
A Kick Off To A Big Year
Little Big Townâs performance at Crash My Playa was only the start to an exciting year for the group.
They released a new album, The Breaker, on a month later, which contained the hit single âBetter Man.â The song was written by none other than Taylor Swift, who sent it to the group because she felt that their harmonies would be a good fit for it.
Swift was right, and fans felt the same way. âBetter Manâ climbed to the top spot on both the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and the Billboard Country Airplaychart.
While their cover of âHeartache Tonightâ doesnât appear on The Breaker, we think Little Big Town should consider including it on a future record!
Until then, we can enjoy their live performance of the song at Crash My Playa. Tune in below to check it out!
