It’s hard to believe that in the midst of their 16-year career, the guys from Rascal Flatts—Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney—have yet to put out a Christmas album. Until now. The “I Like the Sound of That” trio is excited to release their first-ever Christmas album, The Greatest Gift of All, tomorrow (Oct. 21).
“The timing never seemed right,” Jay told Nash Country Daily. “We were touring and always busy and going 90 miles a minute. We were asked early enough out this time. Scott Borchetta—president of Big Machine Record Label—came to us and said ‘Look, you guys can do whatever you want to do, whatever songs you want to do and take your time with it and do it the way you want to do it.’ So it just felt right. It felt like it was time and the fans have been asking for it for a long time. We gathered up a bunch of songs that have been our favorites over the years and just took our time and really had a ball making it.”
