Lady A Kicks-Off ‘Own the Night’ Tour with Record Breaking Audience

Lady Antebellum

Lady Antebellum capped off the opening weekend of their Own the Night 2012 World Tour sponsored by GAC on Sunday by setting an all-time venue attendance record at Bloomington, IL’s U.S. Cellular Coliseum, breaking the previous record held by superstar Kenny Chesney. More than 32,000 fans packed arenas this weekend for the first three dates of the tour.

“Opening weekend was more than we ever could have dreamed,” said Lady A’s Charles Kelley. “There’s been so much anticipation and nervous excitement leading up to our first big arena tour. So much work and preparation goes into putting it together, and then you have to let go and just hope the fans show up. They didn’t let us down! We’re honestly blown away.”

The Own the Night 2012 World Tour sponsored by GAC sold more than half a million tickets in advance of its first stop last Friday in Tulsa, OK. The tour continues this Friday in Huntington, WV and runs through June with Darius Rucker and special guest Thompson Square.

Additionally, Lady A recently scored five nominations for the 47th Annual ACM Awards in the categories of Vocal Group of the Year, Album of the Year for Own the Night as both songwriters and producers, and Song of the Year and Video of the Year for Just A Kiss. The show airs live from Las Vegas on CBS Sunday, April 1st.

NOW Franchise Releases “NOW That’s What I Call Country Ballads”

EMI MUSIC NOW COUNTRY BALLADS

Even after 15 years, the ever-popular NOW records are still going strong, despite a decline in record sales after the emergence of iTunes. The famed NOW franchise is back with a new release, NOW That’s What I Call Country Ballads, featuring 18 monster ballads from hit-makers such as Chris Young and Kenny Chesney to Shania Twain and George Strait.

This is definitely a modern-day collection of country ballads, so if you’re expecting to find “He Stopped Loving Her Today” or “The Dance” on this record, you might be disappointed. Instead, you’ll find Sara Evans’ rendition of Edwin McCain’s “I Could Not Ask For More,” Martina McBride’s latest tear-jerker, “I’m Gonna Love You Through It,” Dierks Bentley’s risque “Come a Little Closer,” and Carrie Underwood’s take on the famous Randy Travis classic, “I Told You So.”

This album is definitely aimed towards a younger audience with songs from crossover artists like Taylor Swift, The Band Perry, and Lady Antebellum, all of whom have had just as much success on pop radio as they have in the country genre. The record also features former Hootie & the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker’s debut single as a country artist, “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It,” which I still say is his strongest single to date.

If you’re not high-tech with all the latest MP3s and gadgets, this would be a great record to buy if you want some of the greatest country ballads released in the last 10 years or so. Or, you could just turn on your radio – I hear these songs multiple times a day, so it’s nothing new or out of the ordinary. But, like I said, it’s a good record to have on hand in the car if you want some good country slow songs. The NOW records are available wherever records are sold, including online via iTunes and Amazon.

Don’t forget to enter for your chance to win a copy of NOW That’s What I Call Country Ballads from CMTT.  CLICK HERE to enter.  Hurry!  Contest ends Thursday , February 2nd.
