Lady Antebellum Feel 'Faint' Over Neil Young Tribute Concert

Lady AntebellumLady Antebellum are among the acts performing at a tribute concert honoring Neil Young as the 2010 MusiCares Person of the Year. The event's lineup of musical talent has Lady A giggling like starstruck teenagers. "I'm so excited about that," Charles Kelley tells The Boot, turning to his bandmates and adding, "I was thinking about that, guys ... We need to rehearse! We're going to sing a song, 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart.' It's gonna be really exciting for us. I mean the lineup, too, that night ...."

"I saw Elton John [on the list] and fainted!" a beaming Hillary Scott interjects.

The event, which takes place Jan. 29 in Los Angeles, will also feature such artists as Jackson Browne, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Sheryl Crow, Emmylou Harris, John Mellencamp, Josh Groban (another of Hillary's favorites), Red Hot Chili Peppers, James Taylor and Patty Griffin. So, with that kind of lineup, Charles asks, "How in the world we got the invite, I don't know. Maybe good management?"

We think it has to do with their amazing talent and possibly their two Grammy nominations for Best Country Performance by a Group or Duo and Best Country Song for 'I Run to You.'

I love Lady A's Love Don't Live Here and Need You Now. I always hear of Neil Young, but can someone name a couple of his songs, please? Maybe I've heard them, I just don't know it.

Not sure what this posting is above but I'm posting about Lady A and I think that is so Awesome they are having that chance to be part of the Neil Diamond Tribute Concert. I know they asked a great band to be part of it and so happy they get this chance. They are the HOT BAND out in COUNTRY so glad they were picked. Been a BIG FAN before they even signed on the dotted line so very HAPPY things are happening for them. Neil Diamond, sit back and enjoy the sounds of LADY A - they are awesome. :) And LADY A - don't pinch yourself-its really happening :D
