Lady Antebellum is back on the road now, playing about 30 fairs and festivals over the summer.  Sunday night at 7 (July 24th), Hillary Scott returns to co-host 'Country Countdown USA' on the Hawk, but this time solo.  But she has much to say about her famous trio.

The trio's Hillary Scott told Lon Helton the group has a new energy after taking nine months off. "So excited, it's been incredible, to be back on stage together again, it's great to get out to the fans and hear sung back to us these songs that have brought us to this point."

According to 'Country Countdown USA,' in between shows, they're working on the next Lady A album: When we're off stage, we're talking about songs we've found, or trying to write new ones, just brainstorming about the creative of what the next record's gonna be.

The other exciting thing in Hillary's life is an album she did with her family called Love Remains, and it'll be released next week, July 29.  She talked about the original idea for the album: "My dad asked me about doing an album as a family.  The songs we chose were all originally sent to us our of encouragement and support as my grandfather was battling leukemia.  But then it's morphed into a totally different thing."

A tragedy in Hillary's life changed the direction of the album, as she explained to Lon: "I had a miscarriage a year ago in September.  It was at the tail end of the Wheels Up tour."   It was close to the time they were in Endicott to play the Dick's Sporting Goods Open.  Hillary wrote a song about that experience called "Thy Will," and it's the centerpiece of the album.

Hillary will share a lot of personal stories about that time, uplifting family stories including those with her daughter Eisele, who turned 3 last Friday (July 22nd) and share some great stories about Carrie Underwood, Kelsea Ballerini, Dan & Shay, Sam Hunt, and Reba McEntire.
