Rascal Flatts
Country music trio Rascal Flatts, which includes Picher-bred guitarist Joe Don Rooney, release today “The Best of Rascal Flatts LIVE,” the group’s first live album. Actually, the album is coming out on Lyric Street Records/Hollywood Records, the band’s former record label.
The album will include “Bob That Head,” “Bless the Broken Road,” “Still Feels Good,” “Here’s to You,” “Stand,” “These Days,” “What Hurts the Most,” “Life Is a Highway” and a medley of “I’m Movin’ On,” “Skin (Sarabeth)” and “Feels Like Today.” For an encore, the album offers the band’s cover version of Boston’s “Foreplay/Long Time” and the Edgar Winter Group’s “Free Ride.”
Rascal Flatts recorded for Disney’s Lyric Street imprint until the label shuttered in 2010; Hollywood Records is another Disney imprint. The trio is now signed to Big Machine Records, which released the Flatts’ latest record, “Nothing Like This.”
The hit-making band will compete for the title of Country Music Association vocal group of the year during the 45th Annual CMA Awards, airing live from 7 to 10 p.m. Wednesday on ABC. The band also will perform duets with pop star Natasha Bedingfield and R&B legend Lionel Ritchie. Make plans to follow my live blog of the show Wednesday night.
In the movie category, the final cinematic chapter in the adventures of The Boy Who Lived, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on Friday.
