Changed

Changed Overview

Rascal Flatts new album is called Changed. Gary LeVox explains the title, "Actually there's a song on the album called 'Changed' and it's a really, really special song. And we thought that title of that song really captures what this new season of our career is cause everything in our professional career has changed...(we) thought the title was appropriate." Rascal Flatts worked with their long-time producer Dann Huff on their new album but they also decided to produce a few of the tracks on their own. Changed comes after Flatt's first Big Machine Records album release, Nothing Like This, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country albums sales chart. Rascal Flatts is one of only four country acts to debut seven consecutive studio albums at #1. Nothing Like This went on to become a platinum-selling album, featuring two #1 hits including the certified platinum "I Won't Let Go" and the gold-certified "Easy" (with pop sensation Natasha Bedingfield). Since their musical debut in 2000, the band has sold over 21 million albums, 25 million digital downloads and delivered 13 #1 singles to the top of the charts. Rascal Flatts is the most awarded Country group of the past decade, earning over 40 trophies from the ACAs, ACMs, AMAs, CMAs, People's Choice Awards and more. As one of the hottest-selling acts on tour in any genre, they've sold over 6 million concert tickets, and counting. Their Thaw Out Tour earned a slot on CMT's "Top Tours of 2012."

Amaryllis

Amaryllis Overview

Re-teaming with The Sound of Madness producer Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Kid Rock) Shinedown presents its fourth full-length album - the bruising, unapologetic, and totally kinetic Amaryllis.

Amaryllis, with unflinchingly honest, unrepentant songs like first single "Bully" and "I'm Not All Right, " as well as the deeply moving "Miracle" and the soulful love song "I'll Follow You, " delivers on its mission statement throughout its 12 tracks. From a thematic standpoint, Amaryllis is a record about vulnerability. It reveals the bruises and scars, but also their healing. "It's not a record for the faint of heart, " Smith admits. "Every single song makes a statement. I was looking for the kind of emotion that made every hair on the back of my neck stand on end. Because of that, I feel in my heart and soul that this album is a game changer for our band."

Six songs on Amaryllis feature a 30-piece orchestra, including "I'm Not All Right" - Shinedown's first-ever song to incorporate horns, which drive home the manic intensity of its subject matter. Another highlight is "Bully, " which finds Smith addressing the tormentor in question in the strongest possible terms. "Amaryllis is probably the most rock and roll album we've ever made, " Smith says. "We've always been a rock band, and I didn't want to lose sight of that. I told everyone the album had to do three things: It had to show sophistication in the songwriting, it had to show musical growth within the band, and I had to push myself to go places lyrically that I had never gone before.
