Rascal Flatts is an American country music group comprised of second cousins Gary Levox and Jay DeMarcus along with good friend Joe Don Rooney. After landing a record deal with Lyric Street Records, the trio released their eponymous debut in 2000.
Rascal Flatts achieved notoriety in 2003 with their music video, "I Melt." Some fans objected to the video - which starred band member Rooney and model Christina Auria - because it contained brief scenes of nudity, and wanted the video banned from airplay on CMT and Great American Country. Eventually, Rascal Flatts released an edited version of the video, which aired during daytime hours on CMT.
The song "I Melt" came from Rascal Flatt's second album, Melt, which contained the band's first No. 1 country single, "These Days" (which reached the top spot of Billboard magazine's Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart in December 2002).
In May of 2005 they performed their hit "God Bless the Broken Road" live on the popular television program American Idol with idol Carrie Underwood.
