We might not realize how lucky we are to have another Rascal Flatts album out today.  The group almost called it quits over a year ago, but after a new record label and management, they decided to give it another go.  Changed represents a new season for Joe Don Rooney, Jay DeMarcus and Gary LeVox, who says they've "grown up."  Joe Don gives props to their wives, who have been "anchors for them throughout all the professional changes."   With renewed vigor, the guys are out in full force supporting the album's release.  In addition to Sunday night's performance of "Banjo" at the ACM's with Steve Martin, they took part in last night's taping of  “ACM Presents: Lionel Richie and Friends – In Concert.”    Tonight, look for the trio on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” and Thursday, they’ll take the stage at “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” Also on Thursday, Rascal Flatts will head to New York City for the premiere of "Rascal Flatts--CHANGED: One Night Only" Exclusive Movie Theater Event, which will air in nearly 600 movie theaters across the nation.   Want to go?  Find out how here.    RF will then hit up ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Friday.   In keeping with their new theme, the guys have changed the name of their upcoming tour to the Changed Tour, which kicks off in June.  They'll visit Riverbend in July.  You can win tickets on the Breakfast Club this week or buy them here.
