Trio Country US comprenant Gary Levox, Jay
Demarcus et Joe Don Rooney.
Rascal
Flatts, a country trio known primarily for its pleasing harmony, is comprised of
Gary LeVox, Jay Demarcus, and Joe Don Rooney. Demarcus and LeVox, both from
Columbus, OH, founded the group and later added Rooney, a Picher, OK, native.
The blend now known as Rascal Flatts came together when second cousins Demarcus
and LeVox invited Rooney to sit in as a substitute guitar player at a Printer's
Alley gig in Nashville. Demarcus and Rooney were also playing in country star
Chely Wright's band at the time. The
rest is history. After landing a record deal with Lyric Street Records, Rascal
Flatts recorded an eclectic mix of country, pop, R&B, and more, releasing it as
the trio's debut self-titled album. "Prayin' for Daylight" became the group's
first smash single. "This Everyday Love" soon followed, with almost as many
accolades. The band's second album, Melt, appeared in October 2002. With
the success of first single "These Days," Melt sold a million copies in
eight weeks. A live album served as an amiable segue between Melt and
2004's chart-topping Feels Like Today, while Me and My Gang
arrived in April 2006. Rascal Flatts' 2007 release, Still Feels Good, enjoyed a
similar reception, going platinum before the year's end and yielding another
number one hit, "Take Me There." Unstoppable followed in 2009. After Lyric
Street Records ceased operations, the trio signed with Big Machine Records and
released its seventh studio album, Nothing Like This, in 2010. Nothing Like This
was another hit, thanks in part to the Natasha Bedingfield duet "Easy," and the
group released The Best of Rascal Flatts Live in time for the Christmas season
of 2011.
Changed, Rascal Flatts' seventh studio album, and the first with the Big
Machine Label Group, appeared early in 2012.
"Banjo," the first
single from Changed, hit number one on the U.S. Country charts and "Come Wake Me
Up" peaked at number eight, but the album overall became the group's first
record to not go platinum. Perhaps that's the reason the band decided to shake
things up for their next album, hiring Howard Benson -- a producer known for his
nu-metal, alt-rock, and pop hits, including records by Kelly Clarkson, 3 Doors
Down, Daughtry, and My Chemical Romance -- to produce Rewind. Preceded by its
title track as a single (which peaked at six on Billboard's country charts),
Rewind appeared in May 2014. Two singles got stuck in the 20s on the
country charts -- "Payback" followed by "Riot" -- before "I Like the Sound of
That" went into the Top Ten in 2015. The next year, Rascal Flatts released their
first holiday album, The Greatest Gift of All. The trio teamed with producer busbee --
best known for his production of Maren Morris' 2016 debut, Hero --
for their 2017 album, Back to Us. "Yours If You Want It," the album's
first single, went to number one on Country Airplay, and its title track reached
number 46.
A pair of singles, "Back To Life" and "Jukebox" appeared in 2018 and in January
2020, Rascal Flatts announced that they were planning a farewell tour as well as
working on new music. Although the tour was soon cancelled in the wake of the
global pandemic, they made good on their promise of a new release and issued the
seven-song EP How They Remember You in July.
