Not to be confused with the other leading lady that goes by the first name of "Lady," Lady Antebellum has been heating up the charts with the release of the group's sophomore effort Need you Now and subsequent first Grammy win. The country trio who first earned ears by way of Keith Urban has exceeded all expectations as they hit number one on Billboard's charts and earned themselves a Grammy Award winning album.
Following their first Grammy win, Lady Antebellum continues to headline a tour and rule the top of the Billboard charts. Get more from the country trio with Lady Antebellum tickets, found online today.
"It's the best day of our lives," said Dave Haywood after learning of Lady A's Grammy win on the red carpet. "It takes a little pressure off the performance, but hey what a year, thank you guys so much!" The trio was near dumbfounded when members finished up a red carpet interview only to learn of their recent Grammy win as part of the pre-awards ceremony.
The trio, which formed in 2006, includes Haywood, Charles Kelley (brother to Josh Kelley) and Hillary Scott (daughter to fellow Grammy country star Linda Davis). Formed in the middle of Georgia, the group fuses sounds of their youth with R&B soul of the '60s and mainstream country pop, all three of which earned them instant recognition. "Love Don't Live Here" and "I Run to You" were the group's first two hits, both of which saw Billboard success and crossover appeal. The platinum set helped their Capitol release see a Grammy nod as they prepared for the 2010 release Need You Now.
Unlike their first set, the sophomore release erased any doubt that these musicians haven't grown and learned from their last production. Led by the title track, the group welcomed the awards season following their takeover as Best New Artist at the CMAs. "We already felt like there was a lot of prove after winning Best New Artist the year before," Kelley said on the group's website, "like people are invested in us and saying 'all right, go get 'em,' which is why we're excited to get [Need You Now] out."
The new album quickly followed their number one hit ("Need You Now") with "American Honey," the second single that brings out the love, experienced penmanship and melodic beats that define this release. Sharing the vocals on all 11 tracks, Scott and Kelley's dynamic is unlike anything most country outlets have seen before - a sexual tension that is merely brought on by the power of the lyrics, the two singers push each other as they equally raise eyebrows.
Co-writing eight of the 11 tracks on the album, the trio was understandably antsy while equally excited to reach the Grammys this year and beyond. Performing their latest hit during the televised event, it was an eye-opening experience for fans and the musicians themselves. "When we're all songwriting, we know what's going on it everybody's lives," Kelley admitted, noting that if someone is going through something in their personal lives that usually gets turned into a song. "Songwriting is almost kind of like our little group therapy." Now they're producing their therapy for hundreds of thousands of fans all over the world, as they celebrate bigger wins and an even bigger sound.
