(Nashville, Tennessee) — They may have taken a break, but Rascal Flatts is back and firing on all cylinders — proving that a legacy like theirs only gets stronger with time.
Exactly 25 years after the release of their debut album, the trio has returned with Life Is A Highway: Refueled Duets, a bold and energetic reimagining of their greatest hits. Released today via Big Machine Records, the project features ten fan-favorite tracks transformed through unexpected collaborations that fuse country roots with rock, pop, gospel, and more.
The album kicks off with the high-energy single “I Dare You,” featuring the Jonas Brothers, setting the tone for an album packed with dynamic pairings. Each guest artist handpicked their favorite Rascal Flatts song to “refuel” with a fresh spin — resulting in a tracklist that honors the past while blazing new trails.
Blake Shelton joins in on a reflective take of “Mayberry,” while Kelly Clarkson brings vocal depth to “I’m Movin’ On.” Backstreet Boys help elevate “What Hurts The Most” into an emotional powerhouse, while Carly Pearce strips back “My Wish” into a heartfelt ballad. Brandon Lake lends a spiritual boost to “Stand,” and Jordan Davis adds fire to “Yours If You Want It.” Ashley Cooke taps into the carefree nostalgia of “Summer Nights,” Jason Aldean revs up “Fast Cars and Freedom” with rock flair, and Lzzy Hale takes “Life Is A Highway” to a whole new level of intensity.
This release isn’t just about music — it marks a full-circle moment. Rascal Flatts is making a major return to CMA Fest this weekend, serving as Saturday’s Artist of the Day at the CMA Close Up Stage inside Fan Fair X. Fans can also catch the trio during a live taping of Amazon’s Country Heat podcast, with additional appearances at Spotify House and SiriusXM’s Music Row Happy Hour — all leading up to their headlining set at Nissan Stadium on Saturday night.
