Miranda Lambert Let Lady Antebellum Have Downtown

(Radio.com) Last week Lady Antebellum released their brand-new single "Downtown," a funky song that takes the group's sound in a fresh new direction. It's the first taste of the music they've been working on for their new album, which is due later this spring.

It turns out, though, that "Downtown" was almost recorded by another country superstar.

"It was one of those songs that we heard and fell in love with and then found out that someone else had that song on hold," says Hillary Scott in an interview with the morning show team at Detroit's WYCD. "That someone was actually a girl by the name of Miranda Lambert, who I consider a good friend."

But Miranda, it turns out, didn't stand in the group's way. "She very very selflessly said 'let Lady A have it,' so we owe her a huge thank you."

"She really went above and beyond, and that's what you find in our amazing genre of country music. That the artists really do love each other and support one another." more on this story
