Beginning in May, the Ride tour cruises all the way to September, giving fans plenty of chances to see the most-awarded country group of the past decade.

And fans will get something to hold them over until summer when Rascal Flatts releases its new album.  The group’s Walmart exclusive EP that’s scheduled to drop March 4 will include “Rewind,” “Why Wait,” “Come Wake Me Up” and the unreleased “Dancing On My Grave.”

Providing the required quote for a tour announcement of this magnitude is Rascal Flatts’ most excellent bassist Jay DeMarcus.

“Gary, Joe Don and I are really excited about 2014!   Brand new music, and a brand new tour called ‘Rewind.’  We’re thrilled to have our good friend Sheryl Crow with us.  Expect some great musical moments and surprises!  And we’re proud to have Gloriana opening.  This is gonna be a show you don’t wanna miss!”
