Rascal Flatts New Label

Big Machine Records has added Rascal Flatts to their roster that includes Taylor Swift, Jack Ingram, Steel Magnolia, Jaron & the Long Road to Love, and Trisha Yearwood.

Jay DeMarcus said, "We believe that Scott Borchetta and all the folks over there are a perfect fit for what Rascal Flatts is trying to accomplish over the next few years. The last 10 years have been amazing but we are even more excited about the next phase of our career; Scott understands us, he knows what we're about and it's always a wonderful thing to have someone who believes in you and your music that much in your corner."

Scott Borchetta, Big Machine Label Group Pres and CEO says "Rascal Flatts are the biggest band in country music and we're honored and thrilled to have them join the Big Machine Records family. While they are celebrating their first ten years together I selfishly can't wait to start on their next 10 years. They have made a fantastic new album and they are completely energized and ready to take on not only the US but also the rest of the world. Why wait?"

Why Wait is their new single - their first for Big Machine.

Their first Big Machine CD - Nothing Like This - is out November 16th.
