Music reviews of #1's...And Then Some
Music Review: The Greatest Duo ... Ever!
Rating: 5 Stars
Brooks & Dunn are not only the biggest-selling duo in the history of music - beating the likes of Hall & Oats, The Everly Brothers, and most particularly, Simon & Garfunkel - but are a country music institution. They churned out hit after hit throughout the 90s and 00s and after a career of some nearly twenty years, they have decided to bring their music partnership to a close.
The good news, however, is that we have this marvellous 2-CD retrospective to remember them for - not to mention the albums themselves. For new fans, this album would be a great starting point and a perfect introduction to Ronnie Dunn and Kix Brooks. Dunn takes the lion's share of the vocals, and with his beautifully soulful voice he is certainly one of the greatest vocalists of his generation - regardless of genre. Kix is a fine singer himself, and both artists expertly deal with ballads and rockers with skilful, consummate ease.
This collection features two brand new songs, including their fiftieth and final single, the rockin' "Honky Tonk Stomp" (the other being the ballad "Indian Summer"). In the early 90s, the duo might have been classified as honky tonk, but as their career progressed, they delved further into rock/pop territory, while still retaining some rough `n' read country in mix.
Ballads like "The Long Goodbye" (co-written by Ronan Keating, but released by B&D first) is a perfect example of the kind of ballads this duo have to offer, and the list of similar romantic ballads like "A Man This Lonely", "It's Getting Better All the Time", "I Am That Man" and "Neon Moon" are perfectly contrasted with raucous rockers such as "Rock My World (Little Country Girl)", "Play Something Country", "Only In America", "How Long Gone" and "Ain't Nothing `Bout You". Sometimes veering towards straight pop, but mainly keeping to big production rock, it can be surprising to realise that these are in fact country artists - such is Nashville these days - but for the more traditionally oriented country fan, there is plenty to like in the glorious fiddles of "Cowgirls Don't Cry (featuring Reba McEntire)" and the fine honky tonk of "Boot Scootin' Boogie", "My Next Broken Heart" and "Little Miss Honky Tonk".
Inspirational music also comes in the shape of "God Must Be Busy", and especially, "Believe" (so beautifully emotive it might just change your spiritual outlook). Also, the latin-flavoured "My Maria" is also a huge fan favourite.
Probably the best track here (in my opinion) is "Red Dirt Road". Not also is it a fun mid-tempo driving song, but the lyrics are also full of meaning and hugely accessible, as it details the road the narrator has driven down his entire life - the road he crashed his first car, met his wife, and found Jesus.
It's worth noting that most of these thirty songs were Numbers 1s in the Country charts - one of the toughest and most difficult charts to climb in any genre (it can take months to achieve a chart-topper on there). The duo's two Greatest Hits packages are also great buys too, but for someone looking to make a single purchase, this is the one to get. Happy listening.
