Harmonix and MTV Games today announced that a six pack of songs from country greats including Kenny Chesney, Willie Nelson, Rascal Flatts and others will be added next week to the Rock Band Music Store of downloadable content for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation® 3 computer entertainment system and WiiTM.
These artists are among the more than 390 bands currently available through the Rock Band platform. With more than 1,000 songs available, Rock Band is, without question, the industry leader in providing the best selection of interactive musical content, songs and artists.
This Rock Band Music Store update represents some of the hottest artists in the country music genre. Kenny Chesney burst onto the scene in the early 90s and has been a staple since, with hits such as "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" from 1999's Everywhere We Go. Montgomery Gentry, composed of Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry, offer their 2004 single "Gone" from their fourth album, You Do Your Thing, while country/pop crossover sensation Rascal Flatts brings one of their most successful singles, "Me and My Gang" from the 2006 album of the same title. "Suds in the Bucket" (Sara Evans' third No. 1 song on the country charts and the third single from 2003's Restless) and Trace Adkins' "Swing" (a single from 2008's Dangerous Man) are also included in this week's additions. Rounding out the pack is Willie Nelson's timeless travelling classic, "On the Road Again," from 1980's Honeysuckle Rose.
