Lady A enjoys two nominations
"Being halfway around the world and hearing that we got two CMA nominations is totally surreal...we're so far from home, but we're also really connected to Nashville because there are so many fans over here who absolutely love country music," said Charles Kelley after landing in Gstaad, Switzerland. "Being in the 'Group of the Year' category is just unbelievable because we feel like we're only getting started...we still have so much to write about and say and do as artists. We honestly will never get used to seeing our name in the same category as The Eagles or Rascal Flatts."
"Yeah, we work so hard at songwriting and trying to find subjects and sounds that resonate with people, so getting our first number one hit and now a CMA nomination for I Run To You totally blows my mind. It definitely helps us validate quitting our old day jobs to start a band," said Dave Haywood.
Lady A also has a new single out. The lead single Need You Now off their forthcoming sophomore album is moving up the charts and has become the fastest rising single of their career to date, cracking Billboard's Top 25 in 4 weeks.

CD reviews for Lady A (formerly Lady Antebellum)
Lady Antebellum may lean a little too closely to pop music for many tastes, but it's hard to argue with the trio's song choices. And its latest collection is filled with many memorable songs.
The single "What If I Never Get Over You," poses a rarely asked pop song question. Humans have come to believe the cliché, 'Time heals all wounds,' as if it were some sort of scientific fact. But what if it's just that, a well-worn cliché, with no actual ...
Lady Antebellum may cause you to throw out many of your country music principles. They don't sing and play traditional country music, for starters. They're not cool like more rocking Americana artists. In fact, they're huge mainstream country stars. So, why are some of us still suckers for their sound? And why does the new "Heart Break" sound so good on the ears? Well, it's simple, but complicated.
Hillary Scott is simply a wonderfully sincere singer. ...
Six albums into its career, Lady Antebellum pretty much has the formula down pat. Either Hillary Scott or long and lanky Charles Kelley assumes lead vocals with Dave Haywood also providing vocals plus guitars and mandolin in a bunch of songs easy on the ears with a story often involving a lust for love.
The typical song ("Lie With Me," for example) starts with Kelly or Scott taking a stanza, followed by the other with both then tackling the chorus together. This has worked quite well ...
