Recommended Artists If you Like Rascal Flatts

From Shelly Fabian, for About.com

Not everyone has the same tastes in music. Even in country music, you have a vast variety of types of music to choose from. I've chosen five similar artists for fans that enjoy Rascal Flatts music. I won't guarantee that you will like every song of these arists as much as you like Rascal Flatts, but they have a similar pop-country style that is likely to appeal to you, if you enjoy Gary, Jay and Joe Don's music.

Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood - Carnival RideArista Nashville / Sony BMG
Carrie Underwood was crowned the American Idol in 2005. On the finale, Rascal Flatts sang with Carrie on the show. Carrie's country-pop style is very much like Rascal Flatts, and fans are sure to hear the appeal in the vocal talents of this Oklahoma beauty.

Josh Gracin

Josh Gracin - We Weren't CrazyLyric Street Records
Another former American Idol alumni, Josh Gracin was also a fan of Rascal Flatts, and he performed one of their songs on the show. They heard about it and liked Josh's style, and suggested him to their label, and after the show was over, and Rueban Studdard was crowned the American Idol for that year, Josh was offered a contract with Lyric Street Records.

Kenny Chesney

Kenny Chesney - 'Lucky Old Sun' (Deluxe Version)BNA Nashville
Kenny Chesney has a great country pop style of his own, and had Rascal Flatts open for him previous to the group moving up to headline their own shows. His laid-back style and songs appeal to a wide range of fans, but his core is probably college age men and women.

Sugarland

Sugarland - Love on the InsideMercury Nashville
This duo from Atlanta has a great pop-country sound, fronted by Jennifer Nettles strong vocals. Formerly a trio, they've dropped a member and are now a duo, without losing any momentum they had gained their first year since their debut Mercury album, Twice the Speed of Life was released.

Billy Currington

Billy Currington - 'Little Bit of Everything'Mercury Nashville
This handsome young artist gained a lot of attention when he dueted with Shania Twain on her "Party For Two" single. Since that time, he's been one of People's 50 Beautiful people, has appeared in Playgirl, and many young ladies dreams after seeing his video for "Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right," and wishing they were the lucky co-star with him on that sandy beach.
