Тексты песен Rascal Flatts
Информация о артисте
Группа Rascal Flatts была изначально образована как дуэт в Нэшвилле, штат Теннеси, США. В ее изначальный состав вошли вокалист Гэри Левокс и мульти-инструменталист Джей Демаркус, оба из города Колумбус в Огайо. Друг другу они приходились троюродными братьями. На одном из концертов другой мульти-инструменталист Джо Дон Руни, игравший ранее с Демаркусом в группе звезды кантри Чели Райт, заменил сессионного гитариста Rascal Flatts. После этого он был включен в коллектив. Группа подписала контракт с лейблом Lyric Street Records и в том же году выпустила дебютную пластинку Rascal Flatts. Диск содержал симпатичную смесь кантри, поп-музыки и R&B и подарил слушателям два больших хита - Prayin' For Daylight и This Everyday Love. Изначально группа позиционировалась в качестве кумиров молодежи, но перед очарованием их песен не устояли и взрослые слушатели. Кроме того, музыка трио оказалась вполне форматной, как для кантри-радиостанций, так и для мейнстримовых волн. Read more on Last.fm.

History: Rascal Flatts were founded near Columbus, Ohio. Gary LeVox and Jay DeMarcus were second cousins from a musical family. DeMarcus's brother-in-law, James Otto, is also a country music artist. DeMarcus moved to Nashville in 1992, earning his first record deal as part of a Christian group called East to West. In 1997, he finally convinced LeVox to leave behind his job with the Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and follow his musical dreams as well.
DeMarcus soon joined Chely Wright's band, and there he met Joe Don Rooney. DeMarcus and LeVox were working in a Printer's Alley nightclub, and when their part-time guitarist could not make it one night, DeMarcus invited Rooney to sit in.

The band was recently announced that they have celebrated 10 years of being one of the hottest country bands of the decade. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
