April 9, 2013 I knew Chad would be happy to hear this when I sprung it on him this morning. Kelly Clarkson is recording a Christmas album! Country singer Ronnie Dunn let the cat of the bag when he told his fans on his Facebook page he is singing
January 26, 2013 Ashley Monroe has written some huge hits. She penned Jason Aldean's hit "The Truth." She co-wrote "Heart Like Mine" by her pal and Pistol Annies bandmate, Miranda Lambert. And she co-wrote "Flat on the Floor," which led off Carrie Underwood's Carnival Ride CD. While Ashley has had some huge songwriting successes and moderate success with the PA's . . . she hasn't achieved the same heights with her solo attempts. That said . . . her 2006 duet with Ronnie Dunn called "I Don't Want To" SHOULD have been a hit. LISTEN!
September 19, 2011 WBKR Waking Crew listener, Scotty Morgan, took his 13 year old stepdaughter to see Taylor Swift in Nashville Friday night. He was dreading it but now he is a BIG fan!
Country singer Ronnie Dunn – one half of superduo Brooks & Dunn – talked with Taste of Country a bit last week about musicians that influenced him. Among Dunn’s more interesting recent influences: “I love Harrison’s slide guitar on ‘Something,’” the singer told Taste of Country.
Dunn has of course been impactful in his own wide-ranging way, and the wild diversity of Brooks & Dunn covers on YouTube are a pretty-great sample of his influence. Among the YouTube treasures we unearthed: a rocker girl singing a heartfelt cover of B&D’s ‘If You See Her, If You See Him’; a ukelele-toting troubadour singing his dog to sleep with ‘Neon Moon’; and a near-perfect bedroom rendition of ‘My Maria.’ Check ‘em out and more below, and don’t forget to sign up to see and meet Ronnie Dunn in Yakima, WA on June 21!
The legendary country duo that was Brooks & Dunn "retired" back in 2009, but the famed band's ex-members Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn are still keeping busy.
Brooks is working on a new album and filming a western called 'To Kill a Memory' with "Boots On" singer Randy Houser. Dunn has a new album out and a hit single with 'Bleed Red,' and he'll be touring the nation solo for the next few months. You can sign up on our Facebook page for your chance to win two tickets and backstage passes to Dunn's July 21st show in Yakima, WA.
We got a little nostalgic thinking about all that history, though, so we surfed the tubes and collected what we think are the five best classic Brooks & Dunn music videos. Check 'em out, and let us know if we missed any (or if we're just flat wrong).
