Lady A's Kelley plans solo disc.
Billboard reported that Kelley will release a solo album in 2016 and unveiled seven songs at a Nashville industry heavy showcase on Wednesday.
Lady Antebellum is taking a break at the end of their current Wheels Up Tour before returning to the recording studio.
Billboard reported that Kelley will be with Universal and a CD being put out by Capitol, which is Lady A's label.
Kelley played "I Ain't Never Leaving Nashville," "I Don't Want to Live Without You," Tom Petty's "Southern Accents" (he said that Steve Nicks would add her vocals for the recording), The Band's "Ophelia" "Lonely Girl," a track written by Chris Stapleton, and "The Driver." Eric Paslay and Dierks Bentley joined him on stage for "The Driver."
Kelley told the crowd he had the support of band mates Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood. ""I wouldn't have done this without Hillary and Dave giving me their blessing," he said. "Lady Antebellum will always be my focus."

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. ...
