The 5 Best Brooks & Dunn Covers on YouTube

Chris Kissel — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 15:03:03 +0000

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!

WKDQ — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 02:11:57 +0000

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.

Who to Watch in 2011

Eric Cornish — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 17:52:27 +0000

The year 2010 in country music can be seen as sort of a changing of the guard. With Kenny Chesney taking time off the road, the emergence of Lady Antebellum and Zac Brown Band thickening the pool of groups, making it more crowded for Rascal Flatts, and power couple Blake and Miranda taking major awards away from mainstays like Kenny, Brad, Taylor, and Carrie, the country music scene is making new stars. Which stars will be the focal points of the coming year? I'll give my best guess.
