I haven't been able to find a single reliable third party source pertaining to this album. Nothing at all besides the band's own website, and other unusable links like Amazon, Last.fm, etc. Even the Allmusic listing is just a blank placeholder. Given the title, it would make an unlikely redirect, and given that Rascal Flatts is the hottest band in country music, the outright lack of sources is stunning.

Keep. Waste of time. Album released last week by notable group, "the hottest band in country music," as the nominator says. Nominator apparently couldn't find listing pages at RollingStone.com and CMT.com and proposed deleting album as hoax, a very bad call. In the unlikely event that this sinks without further coverage, we can always revisit it in a few months and merge the content to the group article or the group's discography, but deletion is obviously the wrong call.

The CMT and Rolling Stone listings are only directories. I haven't found anything on CMT or Lyric Street that even announced the release of this album; albums by notable acts aren't inherently notable.

• Delete, fails notability per WP:MUSIC#Albums. Searching finds no significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources. I personally don't see the point in a redirect due to the non-plausible nature of the title as a search term.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 00:08, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per TenPoundHammer, also it seems this album is Amazon.com's version of iTunes' Summer of Flatts.--Caldorwards4 (talk) 01:50, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
