Rascal Flatts es uno de esos nombres que resuenan con fuerza en la historia de la música country. Desde sus humildes comienzos hasta convertirse en superestrellas internacionales, su viaje ha sido inspirador. El grupo, conocido por sus voces armoniosas y su capacidad para evocar emociones profundas, ha dejado una huella indeleble en el panorama musical.
La historia de Rascal Flatts se remonta a finales de la década de 1990, en Columbus, Ohio. El grupo está compuesto por Gary LeVox (vocalista principal), Jay DeMarcus (bajista y vocalista) y Joe Don Rooney (guitarrista y vocalista). Jay y Gary son primos y habían estado tocando juntos en clubes locales cuando decidieron que era momento de formar una banda. Joe Don se unió a ellos poco tiempo después, y juntos encontraron una química musical incomparable.
En 1999, la banda firmó un contrato con Lyric Street Records, y al año siguiente lanzaron su álbum debut homónimo, Rascal Flatts. El álbum incluyó éxitos como "Prayin' for Daylight" y "I'm Movin' On", que rápidamente se colocaron en los primeros lugares de las listas country. La mezcla de melodías pegajosas y letras emotivas capturó la atención de millones de oyentes.
El lanzamiento de su segundo álbum, Melt, en 2002, consolidó su lugar en la industria. La canción "These Days" se convirtió en su primer sencillo número uno en las listas de Billboard de música country. Tras este éxito, el grupo lanzó en 2004 Feels Like
Ver BiograFia Completa
grandma burned the biscuits
nearly took the house down with 'em
now she's in assisted living
we all knew that day would come
we knew she was too gone to drive
the day she parked on I-65
found her on the shoulder cryin'
she didn't know where she was
it's like her mind just quit
oh but bring up grandpa
it's like someone flipped a switch
front porch light and a blue DeSoto
a couple of straws and a coca cola
you can see it all goin' down
a handsome boy in army green
a tear on his face,
down on a knee, shaky voice, a diamond ring
she'll put you in that town
tomorrow she won't remember what she did today
but just ask her 'bout ellsworth, kansas, 1948
she takes out his medals
a cigar box of letters
sits and scatters pictures
black and whites of days gone by
we started losin' her when she lost him
but to hear her carry on
you'd swear she's seventeen again
football games and leaves a'cracklin'
walkin' her home in his letter jacket
you can see it all goin' down
a perfect night on a front porch glider
saying goodnight for the next three hours
her tired eyes go wide and bright
when she talks about that town
tomorrow she won't remember what she did today
but just ask her 'bout ellsworth, kansas, 1948
while the world is fading all around her
sharing a sundae at the counter
he's going on and on about her
but she's right there right now
tomorrow she won't remember what she did today
just ask about ellsworth, kansas, 1948...
