Kix Brooks wins broadcasting award
"When Jamey Johnson walked in our ACC studio today, I wasn't sure what was going on - thought maybe I'd forgotten about an interview or something. Next thing I know, he's telling me that we won the CMA National Air Personality of the Year Award," said Brooks. "The whole ACC team was in here screaming and jumping around. Everyone works hard and puts their all into making ACC the best it can be. I'm shocked, humbled, and extremely honored to accept this award on behalf of the entire American Country Countdown staff."
Johnson said he enjoyed his duties. "It was really cool to get to call those guys and congratulate them," said Johnson. "They have played such an important part in helping my career and helping me get recognized for my music. I'm happy that I got to be the ones to let them know they got such a great recognition from the CMA. It was fun, early - but still a lot of fun."

CD reviews for Brooks & Dunn
Brooks and Dunn return with the duo's first studio album in a dozen years. Sort of. That's because they revisit a dozen of their hits (leaving a bunch behind) with contemporary country singers. "Reboot" is a cross between a tribute album and a redo, and overwhelmingly, the idea works. The general idea is that the guest artist will trade lines with Brooks or Dunn.
One could surmise that Brooks & Dunn did this kind of album to introduce these chestnuts in an attempt to ...
Brooks & Dunn are the most popular duo in country history racking up lots of hits and awards, but they amicably called it a career with plans to go their separate ways after a farewell 2010 tour. This two-CD set contains 30 songs, but aside from 2 new songs, there's not much reason to buy this set. The quality certainly is there as 20 of the songs reached the top of the chart.
The new songs - both were released as singles - were Honky Tonk Stomp, featuring ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, and Indian Summer. ...
If your idea of a cowboy is Cowboy Troy and the guys from Big & Rich, then sure, this new Brooks & Dunn album is named appropriately.
