Cousins LeVox和DeMarcus从俄亥俄州哥伦布搬到纳什维尔，在1990年代中期从事音乐事业。 DeMarcus在乡村歌手Chely Wright的伴奏乐队中演出，他和LeVox经常在纳什维尔俱乐部演出。当他们的常规吉他手无法出席会议时，DeMarcus招募了他从赖特的乐队中认识的鲁尼加入他们的行列。这三人的化学反应很轻松，于是他们决定在1999年成立Rascal Flatts。他们与迪士尼的Lyric Street Records唱片公司签约，并于2000年发行了同名的Rascal Flatts。该专辑凭借该乐队的突破单曲“ Prayin”而获得了白金奖。 “ for Daylight”在Billboard国家/地区榜上排名第三，并在主流流行榜上跻身前40名。
The band followed with Melt (2002), a ballad-heavy collection that featured “These Days,” a single that dominated the country charts and gave the group its first number one hit. Melt fared equally well on the country album chart, reaching number one and spending two years in the top 100. This success was surpassed with the trio’s subsequent releases—Feels like Today (2004), Me and My Gang (2006), Still Feels Good (2007), and Unstoppable (2009)—each of which reached the top of Billboard’s all-genre album chart. The hit singles “What Hurts the Most” (2006), a rueful ballad, and “Life Is a Highway” (2006), a rollicking tune featured on the sound track to the animated film Cars, contributed to the act’s growing mainstream popularity. During this time, Rascal Flatts also won accolades from its peers, collecting the Country Music Association (CMA) award for best new artist in 2002 and dominating the vocal group category from 2003 to 2008.
After Disney shuttered the Lyric Street label, Rascal Flatts in July 2010 signed with Big Machine Records, best known as the home of country superstar Taylor Swift. The band then released the studio albums Nothing like This (2010), Changed (2012), and Rewind (2014), all of which debuted at number one on the Billboard country album chart. Back to Us (2017) was the group’s 12th album to reach the Top Ten on that chart.
