In the last couple of days, I heard a song on K-Love that I hadn't heard before. It sounded an awful lot like a country song, performed by a country band that's gotten a fair amount of exposure. The band is Rascal Flatts. When you hear the version of Tom Cochrane's "Life Is A Highway" on the Pixar film "Cars," that's Rascal Flatts playing it.
Rascal Flatts has a great country sound, and it's the unique voice of Gary LeVox that helps to give the band a signature sound. That was the first thing that hit me the other day when I heard the particular song that caught my ear on K-Love, and K-Love doesn't often announce the artists' names and song titles. The second thing that hit me when I first heard it was the sound of a steel guitar.
You don't hear steel guitars too often on contemporary Christian radio.
Early this morning, I heard the song again for only the second time. That time, they announced the song title and artist. In fact, the announcers raved about the song.
What I was hearing was confirmed. The group was Rascal Flatts. The song is called "Changed."
It's a standout, in a variety of ways. It's quite a "crossover."
