I love Lady Antebellum. They bring an edgier vibe to country music without trying to be something country music isn't. Unlike the other reviewer, I don't think they're trying for crossover success, nor do I think they should. They'll do just fine (actually way better than "fine") in the country music world, which is exactly where they belong.

I never imagined myself enjoying country music when I was a little kid but puberty hit and that train took a 180-degree turn. I was surprised when reading the critics' review on "American Honey." The song has an amazing melody and the harmonies in the song are just incredible. I'm not a hardcore LA fan and I don't own any of their CD's but I've gotta say that "Need You Now" definitely caught my attention. Somehow though, I appreciate "American Honey" so much more. The song is obviously not intended to be a "crossover" single. It's just incredible country music with just a few hints of pop. I love the "home-like" feel of the song. This song isn't contry-pop, but rather contemporary country.

This is an incredible track and should be taken for what it is--a country song! Not everyone is Taylor Swift (I do love Ms. Swift) and not every country artist needs to be a "pop star" as well. This is what real presenet-day country music sounds like in my opinion. Definitely a five-star track. Give it a try. This isn't pop music. It's just amazing country.

When I first heard Lady Antebellum recently, I was deeply surprised how good their music really was with their pop hit Need You Now. But, it is honestly very heavy and hard to try and capture the same pop status they've shown to cross over into pop. Their second single from their sophmore album, Need You Now doesn't seem to shine on that strength as well with American Honey. It feels more like it tries to bring in that crossover feeling acts like Taylor Swift and The Dixie Chicks had shown in making that same way into the mainstream. I really thought it was alright, but not deeply as strong as their title track displayed, which was absolutely more to bridge over. Still, I really hope their next single can be even stronger than this one showed.
