August 18, 2011 Rascal Flatts latest album 'Nothing Like This' has been such a success that within the first-week of sales the group became one of only four country acts to debut six consecutive studio albums at #1. Since 2000, the band has sold more than 20 million albums and 25 million digital downloads and celebrated 13 #1 singles to the top of the chart.
August 16, 2011 The spotlight artist of the week on KNUE is the multi-talented trio, Rascal Flatts. "Bless the Broken Road" is a song that has been recorded by several American country music artists. It was co-written by Marcus Hummon and members of the country music group Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in 1994, and recorded by Hummon a year later. Since then, Melodie Crittenden, Geoff Moore, Sons of the Desert, Selah, Jamie Slocum, Carrie Underwood, and Rascal Flatts have all recorded the song as well. Of the multiple versions that exist, Rascal Flatts' version is the highest-charting, becoming a Number One hit on the Billboard country music charts in 2005 and earning the songwriters a Grammy Award for Best Country Song.

August 15, 2011 The death of 5 people and the 45 people injured in Saturday night's tragedy at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis, has touched all of us. I know when I heard the terrible news I was stunned. Reports say that high winds toppled the stage to the ground. The crowd was there to see headliner Sugarland. Thank goodness they had not taken the stage yet.
August 15, 2011 You know from the moment they open their mouths and sing,it's Rascal Flatts! There's no mistaken their spot on harmonies!

I think you'll enjoy this week as we spotlight Rascal Flatts this week.
