Rascal Flatts Melt Country Music CD Review by Clyde Lee Dennis

The extremely talented group Rascal Flatts have released their latest CD on the Lyric Street Records recording label, entitled Melt.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

I’m of the opinion that Melt 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 Country fan can appreciate and enjoy.

While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Too Good Is True, track 6 - Dry County Girl, and track 10 - Shine On

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 5 - Love You Out Loud. What a nice track!
