Biography
Rascal Flatts were originally formed in Nashville, Tennessee, as a duo. It consisted of vocalist Gary LeVox and multi-instrumentalist Jay Demarcus. The musicians were second cousins, both from Columbus, Ohio. Once at a gig another multi-instrumentalist Joe Don Rooney, who earlier played with Demarcus in a country star Chely Wright's band, substituted their session guitarist. After that, he was added to the collective. The band signed to Lyric Street Records and issued their eponymous debut album the same year. The disc featured an attractive mix of country, pop and R&B, generating two breakthrough hits - Prayin' For Daylight and This Everyday Love. At first Rascal Flatts were positioned as a teenage attraction, but their harmonies proved to be catchy for adult auditory too. Besides, the music of this trio appeared to be radio-friendly for both country and pop stations.
