Hillary Scott was the first from Lady Antebellum to have a baby. Dave Haywood came next, and inevitably, fans, media and friends started asking Charles Kelley when he and wife Cassie would have children.
Charles Kelley's big secret is out. Not only has the Lady Antebellum star released his first-ever solo single in "The Driver," he's also embarking on a club tour and dropping a standalone EP!
The path to Charles Kelley’s new solo project was short and straight. His Lady Antebellum bandmates were in agreement that after nearly a decade, they needed to take some time to recharge before beginning a new chapter. Kelley had a few ideas for songs that wouldn’t quite work for the trio. Call it a side project, or a solo project, or whatever you want to call it. Kelley calls it “personal.”
There’s no country equivalent to Charles Kelley’s debut solo single, “The Driver.” The collaboration with Eric Paslay and Dierks Bentley is a big slice-of-life ballad that recalls Jackson Browne’s “The Load-Out” from 1977.
Lady Antebellum singer Charles Kelley revealed plans for his debut solo album in front of an industry-only crowd in Nashville Wednesday night (Sept. 30).
