Rascal Flatts Sets Release Date for New Album
September 25 is the date announced for Rascal Flatts' fifth Lyric Street/Hollywood album, the follow up to last year’s
Me and My Gang which sold 3.8 million copies in the United States.
Regarding their success in putting out a large number of radio hits, band member Jay DeMarcus states (in a December 2006 interview with Billboard): "As songwriters, we'd all love to have multiple cuts on our records -- it would be a wonderful thing. But, at the end of the day, you have to cut music that is simply, bar none, hit music, no matter who writes it or who contributes to it. You gotta put your ego aside and say, 'This is the best song for Rascal Flatts to cut at this point in time.'"
"And I think because we have made that commitment, it has allowed us to have success on radio with hit songs," he continued. "If you get to the point where you are so arrogant to think you can write every song on your record and they're all gonna be hits, you're in trouble."
Sit tight country music fans, more Rascal Flatts hits are coming your way when their new album (still untitled) drops this fall.
