BROOKS AND DUNN BREAKING UP!!

           IAM NOT MUCH OF A COUNTRY MUSIC FAN, MY HEART BEING IN THE 90s GRUNGE AND ALT. MOVEMENT WITH NIRVANA AT THE HEALM, I HAVE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS OPENED MY EARS UP SOME AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE A FEW GOOD COUNTRY AND SOUTHERN ROCK BANDS STILL OUT THERE, THOUGH I THINK THE GENRE DIED WITH WAYLON,AND JOHNNY CASH, A FEW OF THE COUNTRY ACTS TODAY CAN STILL CARRY OFF THAT OLD SCHOOL SOUND MIXED WITH THE POP INFLUENCE THAT TOP 40 RADIO WANTS ALL BE IT NEEDS TO HEAR!! AND ONE OF THOSE BANDS IS THE DUO BROOKS AND DUNN!!
      BROOKS AND DUNN HAVE BEEN ON THE MUSIC SCENE IN NASHVILLE FOR OVER 20 YEARS GOING STRONG. THEY HAVE TOPPED THE US MUSIC CHARTS OVER 20 TIMES WITH NUMEROUS HITS. THE DUO HAS WON MANY AWARDS INCLUDING TWO GRAMMYS!! BUT ITS SAD TO SAY THAT THE LONG SUFFERING COUNTRY MUSIC SCENE WHICH HAS LOST MOST OF THE "GOOD" COUNTRY ARTIST IN FAVOR OF THE MORE "POP"ULAR SOUNDING GROUPS, HAS LOST ANOTHER OF THE HARDCORE TROUBADOURS, THE DUO, BROOKS AND DUNN ARE OFFICIALLY CALLING IT QUITS WITH A STATEMENT RELEASED ON THE BANDS WEBSITE, WHICH I WILL POST BELOW, THE DUO SAY THEY WILL DO A FAREWELL TOUR TO BID THERE FANS A FOND GOODBYE!! EVEN THOUGH IAM NOT BIG ON COUNTRY MUSIC THIS IS REALLY A LOSS TO MUSIC IN GENERAL ,,RONNIE DUNN,56  AND KIX BROOKS, 54 SAID, "After 20 years of making music and riding this trail together, we have agreed as a duo that it's time call it a day"


HERE IS THE MESSAGE TO THE FANS THAT BROOKS AND DUNN POSTED ON THEIR WEBSITE!



To Our Fans:
After 20 years of making music and riding this trail together, we have agreed as a duo that it’s time call it a day. This ride has been everything and more than we could ever have dreamed…. We owe it all to you, the fans. If you hear rumors, don’t believe them, it’s just time.
We will release our #1’s and then some” on September 8th and bid you farewell one last time in 2010, with The Last Rodeo Tour…(dates to be announced).
