The exceptionally talented Contemporary Country group Rascal Flatts have released their CD entitled Still Feels Good. 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 Still Feels Good 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.

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.

Still Feels Good is a nicely varied, mix of 13 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly talented musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

I give Still Feels Good my highest recommendation. It just plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection regardless of genre preference.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 4 - Help Me Remember, track 6 - Winner At A Losing Game, and track 11 - She Goes All The Way

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 13 - It's Not Supposed To Go Like That. It's a great track!

Still Feels Good Release Notes:

Rascal Flatts originally released Still Feels Good on September 25, 2007 on the Lyric Street Records label.

CD Track List Follows:

1. Take Me There 2. Here 3. Bob That Head 4. Help Me Remember 5. Still Feels Good 6. Winner At a Losing Game 7. No Reins 8. Every Day 9. Secret Smile 10. Better Now 11. She Goes All the Way 12. How Strong Are You Now 13. It's Not Supposed To Go Like That

Three years after the release of their breakthrough smash FEELS LIKE TODAY, STILL FEELS GOOD continues the winning streak of Nashville trio Rascal Flatts. Although their music is rooted in traditional bluegrass and the pure harmonies of the first wave of country bands from the Carter Family to the Stanley Brothers, STILL FEELS GOOD ranges even further afield of those roots than their previous work. "Bob That Head," a flirtation with country rap along the lines of Big and Rich, and the R&B smoothness of "She Goes All the Way" (which features a guest vocal by actor and singer Jamie Foxx) are the most pop-oriented songs on the album. Elsewhere, "Help Me Remember" and "No Reins" work the power ballad angle of Bon Jovi's country crossover LOST HIGHWAY, and "Winner At A Losing Game" and "Secret Smile" are the album's most traditional country tunes.
