Rascal Flatts recognizes songwriters
Wednesday, January 27, 2010 – Rascal Flatts' Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney will celebrate the more than 75 songwriters who have contributed their creative talent to the band's 6 previously released studio albums next week in Nashville.
"It all starts with a song, we've believed that from day one," said Jay DeMarcus. "We are so grateful and humbled by the fact that so many of Nashville's finest song writers have been with us on this incredible ride. We've lent our voices to some of these songs that have, quite literally, changed people's lives. What an enormous blessing. This is just our small way of saying thanks for an incredible first ten years and then, toasting to the next ten!"
A ceremony will be held at the Musician's Hall of Fame in Nashville next week to recognize the songwriters who have lent their lyrics and melodies, including Blair Daly, Marcus Hummon, Wendell Mobley, Jeffrey Steele and Neil Thrasher.

Then again, if one assumes there is no afterlife, does it really even matter? If there is no one to remember you, your legacy is basically a moot point. ...
As summer insistently steps forward and knocks at our doorstep with bright sunny rays and promises of sun-soaked hijinks, longtime pop country superstars Rascal Flatts aim to provide the perfect soundtrack with "Back To Us."
