Music You Should Hear: Lady Antebellum Turns on the Twang

Newcomers to the country music scene, the trio that makes up Lady Antebellum have already garnered a Best New Artist award from the Country Music Association due to their catchy tunes filled with southern twang and toe-tapping roots rock sounds. (OK, I admit it doesn't hurt that lead singer Charles Kelly is easy on the eyes, too.) Hear their award-winning debut album inside and get an exclusive playlist filled with their favorite music.

Lady AntebellumLady Antebellum, Lady Antebellum

Says Rhapsody.com country music editor Linda Ryan: "Georgia trio Lady Antebellum take elements of Southern rock and roots-inspired pop to create a twanging, radio-friendly sound rich with boy-girl harmonies. With a handful of infectious countrified-pop romps ("Lookin' for a Good Time," "Love Don't Live Here," "Love Looks Good on You"), Lady Antebellum instantly hits the "feel good" mark. But it's the slow to midtempo songs like "I Run to You" and "Things People Say" that show a deeper, tender side of the band and will ultimately draw Lady Antebellum into the hearts of country fans. By eschewing the Nashville songwriting machine -- they penned the majority of the album themselves -- Lady Antebellum deliver a full-bodied and compelling debut." [Rhapsody.com]
