Lady Antebellum formed in 2006 and consists of Charles Kelley (lead and background vocals, guitar), Dave Haywood (background vocals, guitar, piano, mandolin) and Hillary Scott (Lead and background vocals). For those of you who aren’t familiar with the band, Scott is the daughter of country singer Linda Davis and Kelley is the brother of pop and country artist Josh Kelley. The just released their sixth album, 747, and here are my thought on the songs.
“Long Stretch of Love:” This song has a lot of passion and they sound fierce as they sing the lyrics. They picked a great song to start of the album.
“Bartender:” Even though I knew this song before the album was released, I have to say that it’s my favorite off this album. It just has a great melody throughout the song as well as the instruments accompanying the vocals.
“Lie With Me:” I really liked the meaning behind the lyrics; I thought it had inspirational words that were sung.
“Freestyle:” When I listened to this song I didn’t know how I felt about it, but as I continued to finish the song I really enjoyed the song. It gave me the feeling that to just have a good time and be free.
“Down South:” I thought the melody of the song had a smooth and persistent flow to the lyrics.
“One Great Mystery:” Having the song with a slower tempo and had the instruments played in a softer fashion, left the song with a perfect effect.
“Sounded Good At the Time:” I really liked how this song explained how there was a situation where everyone thinks it’s a great idea at the time, but in the end its not.
“She Is:” I think that after every girl listens to this song, they feel that it’s true that they are who they are. It doesn’t matter who she is, but it’s the feeling that every girls wants to me like her.
“Damn You Seventeen:” I feel that this song is something everyone can relate to with this certain situation that they talk about. It’s not the best feeling but it’s happened before.
“747:” This song has a great vibe that is sung and is accompanied by the instruments. It works well with the overall aspects of the song.
“Just a Girl:” This is another song that every girl can relate to and what they think when they meet someone who they appreciate. I think by having this song last really pulls the whole album and sums it up perfectly.
In my opinion, Lady Antebellum concerts are incredible and you don’t want to miss out on a great show.
