Rascal Flatts Are Forever Changed

The change and growth of Rascal Flatts has been forever cemented in us, as I look back on these past eleven years Gary Levox, Jay DeMarcus, and Joe Don Rooney went from little unknowns to mega country stardom who's hits include "Prayin' For Daylight", "God Bless The Broken Road","These Days", "Feels Like Today", "Me And My Gang", "Stand", "What Hurts The Most", "I'm Moving On", "Life Is A Highway", "Why Wait", "Easy", and "I Won't Let Go" are preparing to release their 8th studio album Changed on April 3,2012. Gary, Jay, Joe Don and music producer Dann Huff continue to bring the best out in each other it's no wonder their list of credits are more than a mile long and there's no telling what the Flatts plan to have up their sleeves next. I can tell you their hitting the road with label mates Eli Young Band and Edens Edge this summer on the appropriately titled The American Band tour,if you've never experienced a Rascal Flatts show I can tell you non fans to grab some tickets cause these men give you over two solid hours of music and wild entertainment you'll never forget. Stay tunned for the entire list of tour dates coming to CMC.
The newly released single "BANJO" has sent smoke signals through the airwaves in country radio, I can now say the video is ready for viewing on CMT and soon on GAC and all major music outlets via online and social networks. Although I'll get flack for it,just go with it,it is what it is. Non fans have already taken to blogs pronouncing the video and song a complete hot mess, well I have news for you this is country music and I stand by it. What we see in banjo is banjo and what you hear is fiddle, banjo and steel guitar infused instrumentally and musically, a well crafted piece of fantastic country music. Rascal Flatts took on music director Shaun Silva who's resume is more than a mile long amongst the artists in the country music industry. Thank you Shaun Silva for you're artistry.
Changed will mark new highlights for RF this year, I'm exictedly pumped for all to come and truly embracing with open arms. What to know the album will come in two formats, the album itself and in deluxe version.
