New kid Kix Brooks readies debut single

"It's a freedom of sorts," said Brooks about Brooks & Dunn coming to an end. "It's not a bitter freedom by any means, just sort of a 'well that was fun, now what?' Sort of like being at a theme park and looking around after riding the same roller coaster you finally say, 'Ok I think I'll try that one over there.'"

The single features Joe Walsh and was co-written by Brooks and friends Marv Green (Brooks & Dunn's Proud Of The House We Built) and Terry McBride (Brooks & Dunn hits If You See Him/If You See Her and Play Something Country).

"After a couple phone calls, and the sending of a music file across the internet, the man himself put his stamp on New To This Town like only Joe Walsh could."

"It paints the powerful emotion we've all known, of lost love and the uncomfortable situation of running in to that person again," Brooks said.

Dunn released his first solo CD since the break-up last year.
