Sugarland History
It’s no surprise that three successful singer
songwriters with years of experience can make an
album filled with solid, intelligent music. But even the
members of Sugarland themselves are slightly
shocked by how fresh-sounding and unfailingly
optimistic the songs they make together are. Each
individual career of this Atlanta-based trio seemed
headed in an opposite direction. Jennifer Nettles, a
powerhouse singer with some serious twang was
working steadily on the local club circuit. Kristen Hall,
a singer/songwriter specializing in searing heartache,
has two well-received solo albums. Kristian Bush, a
local folk/rock hero, is one-half of Billy Pilgrim, a duo
with a major record label deal.

Within minutes of getting together, the trio clicked, creating something completely different than
anything any of them had done before. The songs are rootsy and lyrically sophisticated, but still
catchy and accessible. Somehow these niche artists have found themselves making mass-
appeal country music. Four months after getting together, Sugarland played their first gig and
were astounded by the audience reaction. By their fourth gig, they were selling out 1000 seat
venues. Two weeks later, they signed a contract with Mercury Records. “We were just trying to
write stuff that was fun,” Bush says, still a bit amazed by the trio’s fortunes. It all began with a
phone call. Hall contacted Bush to see if he was interested in writing together. At the time,
Bush felt that Billy Pilgrim had become more work than fun. He found himself at a crossroads
in his life when his wife became pregnant and his mother died unexpectedly. Hall also at a
crossroads had built a name for herself with two albums for High Street/Windham Hill, which
were comprised of soul-baring songs that split her open each and every time she performed
them. “They were driving me into the ground,” she says. “Every night I sang them and every
night they kept me in that place, and I just wanted out.”
From the start, Bush and Hall felt their creative energies build on each other. Realizing they
might be on to something, they figured that they would need a singer. They approached
Nettles, a popular local blonde siren with a big, twang-tinged voice combining the power of a
Mississippi soul singer and the warmth of a country crooner. As it turns out, she was looking to
try something new too. When the trio first convened in Hall’s basement, they began working on
“Baby Girl.” Just as they seemed to be hitting a groove, Hall disappeared. She returned a few
seconds later laughing hysterically in between tears. “She was just so moved,” says Nettles.
“We connected so well and the sound was so good, it was such a fun sound. There was a
moment when we just said, ‘Wow.’”
