Light Poles and Pine Trees is the third studio album by American Southern hip hop duo Field Mob. It was released on June 20, 2006 through Disturbing tha Peace, Geffen Records and Interscope Records. Recording sessions took place at PatchWerk Recording Studios, Dirty South Studios, Doppler Studios and Upstairs Studio in Atlanta, at Chalice Recording Studios in Los Angeles and at Vudu Spellz Entertainment. Production was handled by Ken Jo, Polow da Don, Ckay1, Jazze Pha, Ole-E and Vudu, with Chaka Zulu, Jeff Dixon and Ludacris serving as executive producers. It features guest appearances from Ludacris, Bobby V, Ciara and Jamie Foxx. The album debuted at number 7 on the Billboard 200 and number 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums with first week sales of 63,000 copies in the United States.[1]
Originally, the premiere single from the album was to be the track "Friday Night" but did not make the final album cut, although it was still released in early 2006 as a radio promo and appeared on international editions as an extra bonus track. Instead the first official single from the album was "So What". This has become the duo's most successful hit to date, climbing to No. 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in the US. The song "Georgia" is a reprise, originally appearing on the compilation Disturbing tha Peace.
