Where Wright tends toward the more twangy roots of country music,Rascal Flatts take the foundation of country songs and layer on R&B-inspired rhythms and pop-rooted harmonies. With their boyish good looks,seemingly Christian optimism and Colgate smiles,they have garnered many more comparisons to boy bands than country pop acts.From No doubt,these suburban cowboys play country music for Friday-afternoon drive times and Saturday nights at the mall,not the honky-tonk,the ranch,or the porch. With harmonies as squeaky-clean as their faces,Rascal Flatts relish the pop and lite-groove direction that the genre has taken at the turn of the century. In fact,they seem to take pride in their distance from hard-core country roots. To their credit,this trio of earnest young men sounds as if they are truly enjoying themselves as they run through their bouncy,bubbly love songs. And at least these boys don't pay lip service to keeping country traditions alive in 2000. Heck,they even find the fact that their label has "the power of Disney" behind it "really exciting." If you're looking for music with instantly digestible pop melodies,tight harmonies,and very little grit,Rascal Flatts will delight you and they will most likely delight their Disney-backed label,who's obviously taken aim squarely at the teenage market. Goes down as easy as a milkshake--a nonfat milkshake. --Marc Greilsamer Feels Like TodaySong Of The YearBless The Broken RoadBobby Boyd,Jeff Hanna & Marcus Hummon,songwriters (Rascal Flatts)Track from: Feels Like Today[Lyric Street Records; Publishers: Careers-BMG Music,Floyd's Dream Music,Jeff Diggs Music.]Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With VocalBless The Broken RoadRascal FlattsTrack from: Feels Like Today[Lyric Street Records]Best Country SongBless The Broken RoadBobby Boyd,Jeff Hanna & Marcus Hummon,songwriters (Rascal Flatts)Track from: Feels Like Today[Lyric Street Records; Publishers: Careers-BMG Music,Floyd's Dream Music,Jeff Diggs Music.]Me And My GangThis fourth effort from the soft-rock-masquerading-as-country band Rascal Flatts moved more than 721,000 copies its first week out,which let the female-friendly trio rub elbows with some mighty heady company. Only four other country artists (Garth Brooks,Shania Twain,the Dixie Chicks,and Tim McGraw) have rolled out numbers like that,and only 24 other acts total (including Eminem,50 Cent,U2,and Coldplay). So what's the hook,besides Gary LeVox's wounded tenor and Joe Don Rooney's boy-band face? Clearly,it's the songs. Or it usually is. On Me and My Gang,"What Hurts the Most" is the one that'll end up on a tape loop in your head,though "Yes,I Do" memorably frames romantic yearning and regret with ersatz reggae rhythms,and the sexy "Cool Thing" does a slow burn. The problem? New producer Dann ("King of Excess") Huff bloats too many tunes with screaming,by-the-book guitars and general bombast. And despite his über success with Faith Hill and Keith Urban,Huff has never really understood what makes country,well... country. Instead,he insultingly works in a snippet of steel guitar and a couple of family lyrics--e.g.,the melodramatic "Ellsworth" is meant to pull the heartstrings of anyone who's seen the cruelty of Alzheimer's--and thinks he's thrown Nashville a bone. Worse,"Backwards" boringly reworks that hoary ol' country joke "What do you get when you play a country song backwards?," the title song is a Big & Rich ripoff,and even God gets dragged in for a half-baked attempt at middle-America resonance ("He Ain't the Leavin' Kind"). C'mon now. Call these boys pop and be done with the pandering. Joe Don's famously photographed derrière got a fairer crack than this. Still Feels GoodBy any measure,Rascal Flatts has entered elite territory. Six years into a career marked by superlatives,they have become country music's premiere young headliners. Hits like "These Days," "I'm Movin' On," "I Melt," "Bless The Broken Road," and "What Hurts the Most" have taken them repeatedly to the top of the charts. They have sold over twelve-million records,with their fourth CD,Me and My Gang,charging to double-platinum in ONE week. They have pulled in a host of awards and accolades,and are the reigning CMA,ACM,CMT and ASCAP Vocal Group of the Year. They have played for the President and First Lady,become national spokesmen for the American Red Cross,and hosted a farewell tribute to the legendary group Alabama,to whom they continue to draw comparisons.Best of BalladGreatest Hits: Volume 1歌手： Rascal Flatts发行时间： 2008年10月28日地区： 美国语言： 英语唱片公司：Lyric street/Hollywood音乐类型：Country专辑曲目：CD 101.
