Tenth Year Anniversary Gift

“F is a good key,” said Marty, and the two singers brought the house down with their rendition.
While the audience of radio and music industry folks sipped their drinks, the band reminisced about how they used to play two blocks away in Printer’s Alley, from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m., singing every song they knew, including another Shenandoah hit, the 1990 Top 5 “Ghost In This House,” (which was later covered by Alison Krauss). Marty and the Flatts once again blended their voices on the beautiful ballad. (Side note: Marty has a new single out called “Daddy Phone.” Click here to watch the video for it.)
As the evening wrapped, Rascal Flatts honored several country radio stations and programmers who were there from the beginning. Celebrated for most radio airplay overall were WQIK/Jacksonville, WTQR/Greensboro, and KUBL/Salt Lake City. WCOL/Columbus, KNIX/Phoenix and WKHX/Atlanta were honored for the most spins for the band’s first single, “Prayin’ For Daylight” while KBEQ/Kansas City received the designation of being the first radio station in the country to play their debut single. All honorees received a custom Rascal Flatts 10-year commemorative Les Paul guitar.
