Check Out the Demo (Featuring Some Sassy Ad-Libs) of Lady A’s “Downtown”

PSA: Luke Laird has posted another demo on his SoundCloud and as demo fiends, we would be remiss if we didn’t bring it to your attention. As typical in country, much of this demo for hit “Downtown” was recorded by Lady Antebellum without major changes, but there are some absolutely brilliant ad-libs throughout that we wish had made the final cut, like the sassy interlude “You know I tried calling him yesterday, he didn’t pick up the phone?” “Are you serious?” “I was like, what’s wrong with you? I thought we had a good time!”

“Downtown” was written by Laird, Shane McAnally, and Natalie Hemby, and went platinum for Lady Antebellum, as well as peaking at #1 on Country Airplay.
