The best moments on Lady Antebellum's fourth album 'Golden' find Charles Kelley or Hillary Scott singing solo, with minimal help from the other on harmonies. There is no shortage of songs that act as features for the two talented vocalists. The evolution of the trio finds them becoming a dual threat super power instead of a two-headed pop-rock-country group.
Charles Kelley's desperation turns to anger by the end of 'Goodbye Town,' the second single from Lady Antebellum's new 'Golden' album. The song finds the trio working their bread and butter: heartbreak and a yearning for love lost. Sonically, this song forges ahead with fresh production, but it's not quite as exciting as the lead single, 'Downtown.'
There are several artists who have crossed the lines between country music and pop -- superstar Taylor Swift is one of the first to come to mind. There are other musicians, such as Kelly Clarkson or iconic singer/songwriter Jewel, who have jumped from pop music into success on country radio. With trio Lady Antebellum's raw talent and infectious albums, it would be easy for them to walk away from country music. But they're committed to staying country.
Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott is about six months into her pregnancy and is due to give birth to her first child, a girl, in July. At this point, you'd think she'd have already decided on a name, but no dice. Scott has revealed she and hubby Chris Tyrrell don't have the name picked out just yet, but they are open to suggestions.
The 2013 ACM Awards produced some predictable and unpredictable moments on Sunday night. Luke Bryan won Entertainer of the Year, which few would have bet on in Las Vegas if gambling on awards shows was something people did. Miranda Lambert's wins were more expected, but equally deserving. 'Over You' is among the best songs of the last 15 years, and she and husband Blake Shelton are worthy of the honors.
Lady Antebellum is going for the gold with their highly-anticipated fourth studio album, embracing change and risk while staying true to their perfectly harmonized sound. They've revealed even more details on 'Golden,' including the track listing and what fans can expect from their new record.

The battle for the best team in American begins today, not next week. Taste of Country's March Bandness is a fan-voted search for the best country band of all time. Sixteen groups from five decades of country music will square off two at a time in this bracket-style tournament. It's a battle of legends versus modern superstars, outlaws versus pop-country herores and trios versus quartets, quintets or more-tets.
Country trio Lady Antebellum will soon be traveling with one extra member in the bus -- frontwoman Hillary Scott's newborn baby. As her due date approaches, Scott has been having a few irresistible pregnancy cravings.
