LEBANON, Tenn., June 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cracker Barrel
Old Country Store® today announced its latest
Spotlight Music partner, seven-time Grammy Award-winning trio Lady
Antebellum, as they highlight their sixth studio album "HEART
BREAK" (Capitol Records Nashville), available June 9, 2017. Cracker Barrel will offer the
trio's new record and vinyl formats at all stores nationwide and
online at crackerbarrel.com.
Alongside producer busbee, Lady Antebellum's desire to shake
things up was made evident by their current Top 15 single "You Look
Good," complete with a funky horn arrangement. The trio had a
hand in writing eleven songs on "HEART BREAK," resulting in their
most intimate and heartfelt work to date. As Lady Antebellum gears
up to get back on the road, the group is excited to add this new
range of sounds and colors into a set already packed with a
familiar arsenal of hits. "HEART BREAK" ranges from the sweet
melancholy of "Somebody Else's Heart" to the dramatic, surging
ballad "Hurt," which is a powerful vehicle for co-lead singer
Hillary Scott's voice as she soars
over a spare rhythm section and classic string arrangement. With
the clever extended metaphor of its lyrics and percolating groove,
"Army" has a feel that's a throwback to '70s pop, while the bright,
breezy lift-off of "Think About You," with an R&B-style guitar
bouncing off of a banjo lick, is entirely of the moment.
"'HEART BREAK' shares our personal stories over the past decade
and has a universal feel to it that everyone has related to at one
time or another," said Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley. "We can't wait to get it out and
are excited to share the record with Cracker Barrel guests on
vinyl, too."
After taking time to pursue solo projects last year, Lady
Antebellum is set to return to the road, with more than 65 shows
planned in six countries on their You Look Good World Tour. To
date, Lady Antebellum has sold over 18 million units, received nine
No. 1 hits, and swept the country music category by taking home
Billboard Music Awards, multiple ACM and CMA "Vocal Group of the
Year" Awards, and a People's Choice Award.
"As part of our commitment to music and entertainment, Cracker
Barrel's Spotlight Music Program has always been grounded in
partnerships with emerging artists and musical legends alike," said
Cracker Barrel Senior Vice President of Marketing Don Hoffman. "Lady Antebellum is one of those
icons of the industry, and we're pleased to bring their music to
our guests nationwide, as well as to share a few original videos on
our social channels through the Spotlight program."
Cracker Barrel has released albums with a wide variety of
artists, some of which have debuted in top spots on a range of
Billboard charts. Recent Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Spotlight
Music partners show the diverse range of genres and artists that
partner with the brand, including MercyMe, Alison Krauss, Anthony
Hamilton, Rachel Platten and
Reba McEntire. In February, Cracker
Barrel's partnership with a cappella group Pentatonix and
singer-songwriter legend Dolly
Parton won the artists a Grammy Award for "Best Country
Duo/Group Performance" for their unique remix of Parton's 1970s hit
"Jolene."
