About the Composer: Dave Haywood
Dave Haywood is a composer and founding member of Lady Antebellum, the Grammy-winning country trio that reshaped modern country music in the 2000s and 2010s. His songwriting partnerships with bandmates Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott produced multiple platinum albums and chart-topping singles that brought contemporary country to mainstream audiences. Haywood's approach to songwriting emphasizes memorable melodies paired with relatable narratives, qualities that shine throughout the "Wanted You More" collection.
Why we love this
This folio captures 12 hit songs from a commercially successful album in a format that works equally well for piano students exploring contemporary music and for guitarists building a modern country repertoire. The combination of playable arrangements and singable vocal lines means pianists, guitarists, and vocalists can collaborate on material that audiences genuinely connect with, making it ideal for informal performance settings or studio-based learning.
What to expect
These songs carry the polished, radio-friendly energy that defined Lady Antebellum's era: sophisticated country production wrapped around conversational lyrics and singable melodies. The arrangements strike a balance between simplicity and musicianship, inviting players to invest in the emotional arc of each song without requiring advanced technique to capture the essential character.
Who it's for
This collection serves pianists and guitarists who want to learn contemporary country material and singers seeking accessible, audience-friendly songs for performance or practice. It's also suited for music students exploring how modern commercial songwriting balances harmonic accessibility with emotional resonance.
How to get the most out of it
- Balance the vocal melody with the piano accompaniment; the arrangement should support the singer's phrasing rather than overshadow it.
- If you're accompanying a vocalist, lock into the rhythm section feel early in rehearsal so the guitar and piano sit together confidently.
- Work through the chord changes as a guitarist first without worrying about tempo; country progressions often benefit from clean voice leading over speed.
- Maintain the groove orientation of these arrangements; country rhythm is rooted in pocket playing rather than strict metronomic precision.
How to use it
This folio works well as supplementary material for pianists and guitarists studying contemporary commercial music or for mixed ensemble rehearsals where student musicians want to collaborate on modern material. The 12-song collection also provides a rich selection for recital programming, informal performances, or studio-based learning without committing to full orchestral arrangements.
