PRODUCT REVIEW: MAT KEARNEY'S CD "YOUNG LOVE"

Rascal Flatts newest album, Changed, hit stores on April 3rd, 2012. The trio, comprised of singer Gary LeVox, bassist Jay DeMarcus and guitarist Joe Don Rooney, have evolved after being in the spotlight as some of country music’s biggest superstars.

Changed is their eighth studio album and their first with brand new material in two years. Since their musical debut in 2000, the band has sold over 21 million albums, 25 million digital downloads and delivered 13 #1 singles to the top of the charts! The band has established themselves at Big Machine Records following the 2010 demise of their longtime label, and have joined forces with Spalding Entertainment after parting with their longtime management team.

They have won more than 40 major awards, including seven ACM trophies for “Vocal Group of the Year” and six trophies for CMA “Vocal Group of the Year.” Recently they added a Grand Ole Opry membership, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (which is still yet to be officially put in place) and the prestigious Country Radio Seminar 2012 Artist Humanitarian Award to their list of accomplishments.

“Everything is in this big crock pot called Changed,” says Gary with a laugh “It’s got meat, potatoes, vegetables—all of it. It’s fun, it’s poignant, and we think the hard work that went into has really paid off. And we’re very glad to take one more big step down the road.”

Changed is full of the band’s high-gloss harmonies, songs that speak to our hearts, and above all, their desire to push themselves to bring more to the table with each record. Jay, Joe Don and Gary see their latest album as the perfect representation of all the elements that go into the music that has given them so much success.

My Thoughts
As a country music fan, Rascal Flatts has always been one of my favorite bands since my high school years. Every song tells a story that will either bring you to tears, make you laugh out loud and/or get you off your feet to dance. Some of my favorite songs are: “Skin”, “I Melt”, “Feels Like Today”, “Me and My Gang” and many more!

I am absolutely loving Changed, their newest album released this month. The second song on their album “Banjo” is a celebration of the out-of-the-way, off-the-map getaways that refresh us all ~ it’s got big harmonies, high energy and an appearance by Ilya Toshinsky on the five-stringed instrument that lends the song its title. You will definitely be tapping those toes, singing along and enjoying life the way it should be – with great music and a smile on your face.

Each of the eleven songs on this album are all hits in my book, and I am sure that it won’t be long before they are at the top of the charts.
