New song by Rascal Flatts called Why Wait. Can't find credits on the 'net as the album isn't out yet. According to what I have read, they did half the album in Nashville and the rest in Los Angeles using LA musicians. Any idea who the musicians are? I'm too impatient to wait for the CD.
For Brett Day Who is their road player?

Thanks Bo... I forgot that it was Travis in their road band. That is a nice guitar in that other thread.
I know Travis pops in here at times, maybe he can fill me in on the player on the upcoming "Why Wait" CD

Travis Toy is Rascal Flatts' steel player. Before joining Rascal Flatts, he toured with Patty Loveless. When he started touring with Rascal Flatts, he played an Emmons steel and switched to Mullen a few years later.

I saw Travis with the boys on Letterman last night. I couldn't really see enough of him to tell what steel he was playing....and sorry, I'm not sure what song they sung.
I could hear him fine though and it was nice to see a steel guitar on national tv. |

That was "Why Wait", the song I am wondering about. The guitar appears to be the chrome Mullen G2 that is shown in the thread Bo referenced above. The album is called "Nothing Like This" and is supposed to be out today. AllMusic.com lists the album now, but no credits yet.

On the record, the steel player is probably Paul Franklin. He's been playin' steel on their last few records.

Thanks Teresa. Is there any chance you can post the other players. The article in the link below stated they recorded some of the album here in California with new musicians.
