Eight to watch in '08
Pop music critics Joan Anderman, Sarah Rodman, and James Reed forecast the year ahead
LADY ANTEBELLUM With the success of Sugarland and Little Big Town, Nashville is primed for another male-female group to continue breaking up the traditional mold of solo guys and gals. Lady Antebellum has got the goods to be that band. The three-part harmonies, hint of grit, and appealing contemporary country sound of the group's first single, "Love Don't Live Here," bodes well for the as-yet-to-be-titled debut from Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley, and Dave Haywood. Before their disc, produced by Dixie Chicks and Little Big Town knob-twiddler Paul Worley, drops in April, the trio will hit the road as an opening act for Martina McBride.
