Kix Brooks single released
"The single's title, New To This Town, pretty much says it all," said Brooks. "I'd written the song with some old friends and wanted to put it down while it was fresh in my mind. It was as if it were meant to be. Then it was mentioned, 'some Joe Walsh sounding slide' would sound great on the track. What are the chances the man himself would be generous enough to help me out. What you hear today is a lotta luck....and a little bit of magic. You can't go back, but finding a place to start over is what makes life worth living - I'm really excited."
Co-written by Brooks and longtime friends Marv Green and Terry McBride, New To This Town, is on iTunes.
For 20 years, Brooks was with Brooks & Dunn, the most successful duo in country music having sold more than 30 million albums, released 23 number one singles.

"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 ...
With no disrespect to Kix Brooks, but back when he was half of the super successful Brooks & Dunn, this diminutive one sometimes seemed to be Andrew Ridgeley to George Michaels; he was Oates to Hall. Hopefully, though, the wonderful new "New to This Town" will put that stereotype to rest. Brooks was also the humorous, gregarious side of Brooks & Dunn, which starkly contrasted Ronnie's many times uptight, shy stage presence.
There's little that's overly ...
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. ...
