Dunn releases "Ain't No Trucks" video

Monday, October 19, 2015 – Ronnie Dunn released the new video for "Ain't No Trucks in Texas" today on VEVO and CMT.

Shot in Nashville and directed by Peter Zavadil, the video focuses on post-relationship regret and whether the grass is really greener.

"We really wanted to do something simple and poignant," said Dunn. "Relationships are tough and it is not always easy to express your feelings. This song signifies how it is easier to let a relationship end than tell someone how you really feel."

Dunn sings with irony, "There ain't no trucks in Texas / Ain't no football in the south / Ain't no bourbon in Kentucky, I ain't drinkin' me some now / Ain't no stars in California, Memphis never had the blues / Oh, there ain't no trucks in Texas, and I ain't missing you."

"It's a song about male pride," said Zavadil. "It's not about trucks, whiskey or a variety of catchy clichés. It's about a guy with a broken heart fighting to play it down."

Penned by Wendell Mobley, Tony Martin and Neil Thrasher, "Ain't No Trucks In Texas" is Dunn's first single from Nash Icon Records. Rascal Flatts' Jay DeMarcus, who produced the track, is continuing to work with Dunn for an upcoming album.

Dunn will head back to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December following a string of sold-out performances. Reba, Brooks & Dunn: Together in Vegas has extended its run through May 2016

CD review - Reboot 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 ...
CD review - #1s ... and then some 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. ...
CD review - Cowboy Town 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. For it's the city-bred hat crowd that the majority of these songs are aimed at or at least the women that married them. Their last couple of albums saw them gain some critical acclaim with songs like the stirring "Believe," but there's nothing that immediately memorable here. Instead, we get the fuzzy current events theology of, "God ...
