LAS VEGAS – Rascal Flatts is moving ahead with a new album despite the dissolution of its record label last week.
The trio said during rehearsals for the Academy of Country Music Awards, presented Sunday, they were surprised by Disney’s move to close Nashville, Tenn.-based Lyric Street Records – the only label they’ve known. But a single is still due in June and an album will be out in September.
“It will be out on somewhere,” singer Gary LeVox said. “We’re still moving full steam ahead and we’re just pumped about the new stuff that we’re cutting. It’s just a sad deal. That was our family for 12 years. It just kind of blindsided us. It was just kind of out of the blue. It’s still a little shocking.”
