Need You Now - by Lady Antebellum

This song came on the radio today... then it stayed on in my head.
Lady A is based out of Nashville (like every other country acts of course! lol), TN.  They started in 2006 when Charles Kelly & Dave Haywood got together with Hillary Scott (who is - as I just found out - the daughter of Linda Davis).  Their self-titled debut album was released shortly after (they had signed to Capitol Records by then) & had their single "Love Don't Live Here" (released in Sept. of '07) debut at #1.  The album was produced by Paul Worley who has also produced for the Dixie Chicks, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Martina McBride, & [of course] more.  Much touring & other works ensued, including opening for McBride's 'Waking Up Laughing Tour' in 2008; & contributing "I Was Here" to the 'AT&T Team USA Soundtrack' for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.  January 26th, 2010 was the day their sophomore album "Need You Now" hit the streets; the title single was released in August of the previous year & easily hit #1 in Billboard Hot Country Songs - it also was nominated for & won multiple awards at multiple ceremonies (including 'Song of the Year' & 'Best Country Song' at the Grammys in 2011; 'Song of the Year' at the Academy of Country Music in 2010; 'Single of the Year' & 'Single by a Duo/Group' at the American Country Awards; & more!).  On May 2nd, 2011, they released their latest single "Just a Kiss" from their upcoming album.  This song is from "Need You Now".
