What Parents Need to Know

About Greatest Hits: Vol. 1

Parents need to know that this is compilation features material already released on the band's earlier albums. A limited number of first-edition copies include a bonus disc with three Christmas songs. Rascal Flatts' sometimes-saccharine ballads are their trademark, so most of the songs have themes of love and its loss. With the exception of a few allusions to sex, the songs are all appropriate for kids.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why the band didn't release any new material on this album. Why do you think bands do that? Would you still want to buy it if you already had all the other Rascal Flatts albums? What about the bonus Christmas songs -- are they enough to make you want to buy an album of music you already own? Why do you think the band picked the songs they did for the compilation?
