For a group that loves nothing more than making music, the other two band members — Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood — did what came naturally. They took the opportunity to hit the studio. The summer break came only a couple of months after the release of the group's fourth album, "Golden.
Initially, Lady Antebellum planned to return to touring behind the album last fall. But when the summer break produced a batch of new songs, it created a dilemma. The trio, though, wasn't ready to leave behind "Golden" and move on to a new album. The time off had put a pause on any momentum behind the original "Golden" album, which had produced a No. The solution was to postpone the fall tour, add three newly recorded songs to "Golden," and re-launch the album as a deluxe edition. One of the new songs, "Compass," went to radio ahead of the November release of the deluxe edition.
It ended up becoming a top hit. Now, Lady Antebellum is starting the tour that was to begin in the fall, giving "Golden" a new promotional push. And the new songs, Haywood said, enhanced an album the band already felt was a strong effort.
What is that other big fun live song that we want to have for the live show to kind of complete the record? So yeah, I think there was maybe one or two of those moments missing in the end for the album as a whole, so that's the excitement and reason we wanted to add a couple of more songs to it. The other new tunes are band co-writes. The trio post a video on their website each week, which has given fans a chance to really get to know them as individuals.
Hillary says she hopes that the audience will be able to see their personality onstage just as they see it in the webisodes. We see them every week -- Hillary is a goofball, Charles sings all the time, even in the bathroom. Before the headline tour, the band will release a new album called 'Own the Night,' which they have been working on since January 1. Charles explains that's when the song 'We Own the Night' became more than just a track on the project. But we also hope that the tour will hold those special moments for our fans, that when they come to see us, they can enjoy the evening with us and that night will be something they'll always remember.
We want to take that concept out on the road to our fans, to 'own the night' and live in the moment, and hopefully that is what we can do. Lady Antebellum will go from east to west in the next week, playing Roanoke Rapids, N. Then they hit the Midwest, going to Manhattan, Kan. The Latest.
