Rascal Flatts Feels Like Today Contemporary Country Music CD Review

The exceptionally talented Contemporary Country group Rascal Flatts have released their CD entitled Feels Like Today. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Rascal Flatts fans, and Contemporary Country fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Feels Like Today their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.

Rascal Flatts have been a heavy hitters in the Contemporary Country genre for quite some time now and Feels Like Today is an excellent illustration as to why.

One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Contemporary Country isn't your favorite genre you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the musicians.

I'm of the opinion that Feels Like Today is certainly some of this groups best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it's a collection that even the casual Contemporary Country fan can appreciate and enjoy.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Bless The Broken Road, track 4 - Feels Like Today, and track 6 - When The Sand Runs Out

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 8 - The Day Before You. Good stuff!
