Lady Antebellum
Sep 17, 2012
Capitol Records Nashville group Lady Antebellum, are getting ready for the holidays already, with the announcement of a Christmas album, entitled "On This Winter's Night," being released on Monday October 22nd.
"I love the excitement, the child-like spirit of innocence and just about everything that goes along with Christmas," said the group's Hillary Scott. "My little sister will be 12 this Christmas and it is always so sweet to see her wake up every Christmas morning and wonder what Santa brought her. It was that way for me growing up and it's so amazing to be able to spend that time with her now."
"The perfect winter's night for me would be with all the family together," added Charles Kelley. "As you get a little older and everybody has their jobs and then families and kids, it definitely becomes harder to get everybody together at once. It would be pretty special to have the whole family in the room and get back to where we were as kids...all waking up on Christmas morning, walking down and having that tradition."
"We recorded this album in two sections, but both times were in the summertime," said Dave Haywood. "It is always weird to be in the studio working on Christmas music in June and July, so we decorated the entire studio, we really did. We brought out lights, fake trees and decorated the place to get in the Christmas spirit. You'd leave the studio, and it'd be 100 degrees out in Nashville, but nonetheless, a great experience."
The album was recorded in Nashville and co-produced by Lady Antebellum with Paul Worley. There are plenty of 'classics' on the album- two of the songs were arranged by the group and the title song is an original.
