I saw Brookes & Dunn on a country music talk show this morning. Ronnie Dunn appears to me not to be well. He looked strung out, but really seemed to me like he was having coordination problems with his arms and shaking in his left hands. Don’t want to start any rumors…just wondered if anyone else noticed his reflexes seemed to be very delayed. Wondered if health problems were an issue for the break up.

Hopefully they do some reunion stuff… or break-up like KISS did… not at all.

Kix’s version of “Red Dirt Road” is a lot different. I remember seeing it on a CMT special that aired about the group.

It’s slowed and toned down, big time. It’s definitely more “songwriters night” material than the recorded version.

Was Kix even trying towards the end? He went from songs like “Still in Love With You” to “Drop in the Bucket” and “See Jane Dance”. Blecch

I can’t say I’m sick of hearing Dunn (I’ll never be sick of that voice!) but I definitely want to hear some more from Brooks – South of Santa Fe is one of my favourite Brooks & Dunn tunes, and I’m always irritated at how underrated it is.

Like others here, I grew up on their 90’s music, which I really enjoy, but haven’t been all that impressed with their 2000’s material. There were a few I liked such as “Every River,” “My Heart Is Lost To You,” and “It’s Getting Better All The Time.”

I’m actually more interested in seeing what Kix does next. I like his vocal style, plus I’m just tired of hearing Ronnie all the time since 2000.

Do none of you remember Kix sang lead on some of the best B&D singles (and country singles) of all time?

“You’re Gonna Miss Me When I’m Gone” – one of the only modern country songs to actually EQUAL the quality and timelessness of anything the Eagles put out

“Lost and Found” – amazing song

If Kix is out doing acoustic songwriter’s nights around Nashville, I’d guess he’s tired of playing “Kristian Bush” to Ronnie Dunn after all these years. With his winery and all the money he’s earned Kix has likely decided to live the rest of his life on his terms, not as part of that arranged musical marriage. I sure can’t blame him…

PaulaW,

Any chance we can find that Red Dirt Road version of Kix??? I’d love to hear his version as well…

As for the “marriage” concept of B&D…it’s interesting that they managed to do so well musically, but not like so on personal level. I’m surprised that even if I were told that their family members don’t get together over the holidays…at least this is what I’m sensing from the earlier commentaries. But man, they sure did put out a lot of great stuff. Sure hope one of them or both come out with their own biographies to share a bit on their feelings of their manufactured success. I wish them luck and God bless ‘em for giving us some classic line dance music.
