Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley co-wrote Darius Rucker’s latest single, “Homegrown Honey,” withNathan Champman, and it was a writing session that Charles actually pushed for during a round of their favorite sport.

“We were out playing golf, like we always do when he’s in town, and I was gettin’ on to him that we’ve never written before, and he said he was writing for a new record,” recalls Charles. “Literally, I didn’t give him an out. He was having a busy day actually the next day singing vocals, and he was done until like 8 that night. I’m sure he was tuckered out. I said, ‘We have to make this a priority and write,’ and sure enough, came up with what I think is a great song, and it’s his first single [from the new album], and I’m excited, man. Just to have a little part of a Darius Rucker song is a huge honor.”

“Homegrown Honey” is the lead single from Darius’ forthcoming album, due out later this year.

Lady A’s on the country charts with their latest hit, “Freestyle,” from their 747 album.
