CURRENT SINGLE: “How They Remember You”
Rascal Flatts just released their new album, Twenty Years of Rascal Flatts – The Greatest Hits, which includes 20 of their #1 songs and fan favorites, spanning their 20-year career. All the guys in Rascal Faltts have kids, so we wondered what their favorite songs are off the new project. Jay DeMarcus says, “My [8-year-old] son loves ‘Here Comes Goodbye.’ He sings it all day long. I hate the song now. All over the house he’s screaming ‘Here Comes Goodbye.” He loves that video cause it’s snowin’. He loves the way Gary sings that song. But Dylan is singing ‘Here Comes Goodbye’ every day now. Fun during quarantine.”
Joe Don Rooney has three kids, and the song that they all seem to love is “Life Is A Highway.” He says, “That’s one that gets you goin’ and up-tempo, fun, and the kids recognize that one, obviously, from the Carsmovie. And our youngest is five years old so, we still watch the Cars movie in our house.”
His two older kids, Jagger who’s 12 and Rocky (Raquel) who’s nine have outgrown the Cars movie, but Joe Don says, “‘Life Is A Highway’ is still one that amps ‘em up, gets ‘em goin’.”
Gary LeVox has two daughters – Brittany who is 20 years old and pursuing her own singing career now, and Brooklyn who is 16 – and he says, “Brittany, she loves ballads and all that kind of stuff. So, she’s grown up with all these melodies that we’ve done, but she sings ‘I Won’t Let Go’ all the time. And ‘Banjo,’ probably for Brooklyn, cause she’s such a farm girl, she loves it. ‘Banjo’ is probably her favorite.”
Twenty Years of Rascal Flatts – The Greatest Hits is available now, wherever you get your music.

And our youngest is five years old so, we still watch the Cars movie in our house. And Jagger’s 12 now, Rocky’s nine, so they’ve kind of moved on and graduated past that, but ‘Life Is A Highway’ is still one that amps ‘em up, gets ‘em goin’.”
