NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Rascal Flatts has a new home.

The country music titans will release their new album, "Nothing Like This," on Big Machine Records on Nov. 16.

Big Machine also is the home of Taylor Swift, giving the independent label two of country music's most bankable acts.

The Disney Music Group shuttered the band's only previous label, Lyric Street, in April.

Bassist Jay DeMarcus called the new partnership with Big Machine "a perfect fit" and says label president and CEO Scott Borchetta understands what the band is trying to accomplish. Disney will retain Rascal Flatts' back catalog.

The band will immediately release its latest single, "Why Wait," to country radio stations.

Eating healthier

Several local school districts have changed their cafeteria menus to healthier fare. What about you? Are you eating healthier than you used to?

  • Yes. I've made big changes in my diet. More fruits and veggies and less fried foods. I feel much better as a result.
  • Sort of. I made changes in my diet for awhile, but it never seemed to do much good. I've gone back to the way I used to eat.
  • I haven't made any changes, but I've always eaten a very healthy diet.
  • No. I eat what I want to eat and I don't worry about it.
