It all began on that day in 2006 when Hillary Scotts sultry alto, Charles Kelleys gritty tenor and multi-instrumentalist/ harmony vocalist Dave Haywoods musical overview first intersected. Hillary, whose parents are Grammy-winning country artist Linda Davis and accomplished musician Lang Scott, had met Charles at a downtown Nashville music spothaving recognized him from his MySpace page. She introduced herself, and they struck up a conversation that ended in an agreement to try writing together.
Enter Dave Haywood, Charles friend since they met at Riverside Middle School in Augusta, Ga., and co-writer since they attended college together at the University of Georgia. Dave had moved to Nashville in March 2006 at his pals suggestion, and both were staying at the home of Charles brother, singer-songwriter Josh Kelley. Hillary came by the house, and over the ensuing months she, Charles and Dave fell into a fruitful songwriting partnership. We held ourselves hostage in a writing room until the early hours of the morning every night, Dave remembers.
At first, the three werent sure what exactly they were writing forbut it soon became obvious that Charles and Hillary produced a combustible chemistry as a vocal duo, and that Daves instrumental prowess and harmony vocals filled out the picture perfectly.
It helped matters a great deal that the three also sparked as friends, finding an easy balance of personalities. Im the analytical perfectionist, Hillary brings the silliness and the emotion, and Dave is the calming glue, Charles explains. Everyone balances everybody else out.
Each also brought diverse influences into the collaboration, ranging from The Allman Brothers Band to Vince Gill, from The Eagles to Keith Urban, and from Gladys Knight to Travis Tritt. All those elements added up to something distinctly modern, yet grounded in old-fashioned gut-level passion. Its like a Neapolitan blend of all these flavors, Dave says. Its a really great marriage, musically and lyrically. Their old-school influences led them to choose an old-time moniker, inspired by a just-for-fun photo shoot in front of an Antebellum-style home: Lady Antebellum. (Theres not anything too terribly meaningful behind it, Charles admits.)
The three began posting demos on MySpace to see what kind of reaction theyd receive, and visitor feedback was immediately, overwhelmingly positive. Audience reaction was just as instantaneous when Lady Antebellum began playing small gigs around Music City. It took on a life of its own, marvels Dave, who booked their first shows himself. There was no plan, we just kept churning out as many songs as we could. Early fans soon took it upon themselves to bestow upon the trio the shorthand nickname Lady A.
By April 2007, the group had signed a recording contract with Capitol Nashville and begun work on their debut with the aid of megaproducer Paul Worley and award-winning songwriter Victoria Shaw. The resulting album is a vivid document of the groups verve, versatility and vibrancy. Lady Antebellums 11 songs10 of which were co-written by the bandeffortlessly capture the trios musical interplay, emotional directness and all-for-one spirit. The chugging hit Love Dont Live Here (inspired by a breakup Charles had just endured) announces their intent from its opening moments, as the chiming guitars give way to Charles gutsy voice, quickly seconded by Hillarys backing vocal.
Throughout the album, the two lead singers shift easily between taking the spotlight and sharing it, whether theyre trading off lines in the great tradition of country duet singers or supporting one another with sparkling harmonies.
The range of emotion on Lady Antebellum encompasses both the joyfully romantic Loves Lookin Good On You and the desolation of the swelling ballad All Wed Ever Need (the very first song the trio composed together). Between those extremes is the driving Long Gone, a display of attitudinal assurance from Hillary; Lookin for a Good Time, an irresistible come-on from Charles; Slow Down Sister, a churning rocker with touches of Southern rock and Stax groove; and the pulsing I Run to You, in which the voices circle one another tantalizingly before melding seamlessly in the chorus. Fans drawn in by Love Dont Live Here are about to discover just how much more there is to Lady Antebellumand given the trios breathtaking rise to newly minted star status, its a sure bet that there are plenty of listeners out there waiting to do just that. It still overwhelms me, Hillary admits. Im a true believer that whats meant to be will fall into place. When the ride starts, youve just got to jump on.
With a one-of-a-kind vocal chemistry that evokes the tradition of classic country, an up-to-the-second modern sound, and a songwriting partnership thats both timely and timeless, Lady Antebellum offers a combination thats both shockingly fresh and as familiar as an old friend.
