I Heard It On The Radio
The other day I was out driving in my GMC pickup truck, and being a guy when my classic hard rock radio station cut to a commercial I began scanning the other stations I have program to see if they had something I might want to listen to. It happened when I mistakenly put on my daughters station 98.3 out of Augusta Ga.
I heard this great song but had no idea what the name of it was or who sang it, so I left myself a message on mt IPhone. When I got home I immediately started looking for the song, I finally found it, the name of the song was “Need You Now” by “Lady Antebellum”. They are a country music group with this being a cross-over song.
The song is very addicting, hearing it makes you want to listen to it over and over. The lead vocals are done by Hilary Scott, and Charles Kelley, Dave Haywood is responsible for backup vocals along with piano, and guitar.
The rcorded version of this song is exactly what you heard on the 43rd Annual CMA Awards which to me is most excellent. The song features great vocals along with terrific harmonies. The back-up bands bass guitar line has a subtle but driving sound, also the lead guitar being played on a telecaster electric guitar makes great use of a slide, which can be heard throughout the song.
As if the song was great enough what really sold me unselfishly Dave who also co-wrote the song has probably the best tutorials on “You Tube” that you will ever see. Using a Gibson acoustic guitar he takes you through what the cords are along with a close-up of his fingers on the fret board, he shows you how to play it.
Experienced and beginner guitarists can both benefit from this video.
