Me And My Gang

Performer: Rascal Flatts
Producer: Dann Huff; Rascal Flatts
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: Rascal Flatts: Gary LeVox, Joe Don Rooney, Jay DeMarcus. Nashville-based country-pop superstars Rascal Flatts can seemingly do no wrong. Their first three albums sold remarkably well on the strength of the band's streamlined, commercially oriented sound and penchant for swelling, heart-tugging ballads. ME AND MY GANG, the group's fourth release, delivers more of the same, which promises to suit the band's legions of fans just fine. The album's lead-off single, "What Hurts the Most," is a case-in-point for Rascal Flatt's winning formula: a ballad-tempo number with a lilting verse, sweetened by the group's patented harmonies, that segues into a soaring, heartrending chorus about love and loss. "Along the Broken Road," a tale of love's difficulties, strikes a similarly familiar emotional and stylistic chord. That Rascal Flatts' songs sound as comfortable on mainstream pop radio as they do on country stations is a testament to the band's crossover appeal, and ME AND MY GANG delivers on that appeal in spades.

Entertainment Weekly (p.73) - "[W]hen they latch on to a smartly crafted, emotional pop hook...they will bring out the woman in you."

Cousins Jay DeMarcus and Gary LeVox grew up playing together in Columbus, OH. After DeMarcus moved to Nashville, LeVox eventually followed, and with Joe Don Rooney they formed Rascal Flatts, the singing, songwriting, and instrumental abilities of all three making them a force with which to be reckoned. Their self-titled 2000 debut album was a huge success on both the country and pop charts. All three members also proved to be successful writing songs for others, including Chely Wright, Joe Diffie, and Chad Brock. Building to an even higher plateau, Rascal Flatts's second album, MELT, was an even bigger smash than its predecessor.
