Kix Brooks admits he was hesitant to agree to a September 11 release of his new album, 'New to This Town.' The singer didn't want to be difficult, but he didn't think the mood of his first solo album in 23 years matched what he thought the nation would be feeling on the 11th anniversary of the New York City and Washington D.C. terrorist attacks. In the end, he decided he was wrong, leaning on a decision he and Ronnie Dunn made just days after the original tragedy.
Since Kix Brooks is in town tonight playing Cypress Bayou Casino in Charenton, I got the envie for some good old Brooks & Dunn music. While I'm sure Kix is going to do some of the old stuff tonight at the show, we can't bring back he and Ronnie Dunn as a duo anytime soon.
Kix Brooks has had to pull out of a scheduled show in Jacksonville, Fla. after bursting a vocal cord. Upon hearing the news, his old duet partner Ronnie Dunn graciously stepped in to replace ‘New to This Town’ singer.
Garth Brooks, Kix Brooks … no relation. Still, one of these country legends almost changed his name to avoid confusion with the other. During Tuesday’s press conference to announce the inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame, Garth Brooks said fans came very close to knowing him by a different name.
