I choke up thinking about it now.īrooks: I’m actually from Louisiana and usually my coffee cooks for a couple of hours every morning before it’s worth drinking. We were playing the fair in Puyallup.īrooks: You know, Seattle is so ever-changing micro that I’m sure Starbucks is very passé.ĭunn: It felt warm inside and all tingly, and I just almost tear up. Being from Seattle, I have to ask, what is the best coffee you have ever had?ĭunn: Best coffee in Seattle? It must have been from Starbucks. It’s good color in songs and stuff like that, and I try to play the right chords, anyway.ģ. But I don’t consider myself a mandolin player. I played enough to kind of get a feel for it, and it’s fun to write with different stuff when you get in the mood. I was curious about what other instruments you playīrooks: Well I’m not very good at any of them, but I had a mandolin in college and kind of learned the chords and stuff, you know, kind of like guitar playing. I have noticed in your video for “That’s What It’s All About,” that Kix is playing a mandolin. We sneak them in every now and then, all the way back to “Boot Scoot.” We’ve had them in and out.Ģ.
#BROOKS & DUNN – THE GREATEST HITS COLLECTION II PLUS#
It hit us right.ĭunn: Plus we got to put our kids in the video on CMT. I think we both identified with the sentiment and the things that matter in life. Coined the “barbeque stain on my white T-shirt” from another McGraw song. Also wrote “Live Like You Were Dying” and many other hits that you would be familiar with. Where did the idea for the song “That’s What It’s All About” come from? It means a lot to my boyfriend and me because we have been through so much together, and we never forget to tell each other how much we love each other.īrooks: Craig Wiseman. (That's right with this song Brooks & Dunn take the credit - or the blame - for igniting the line dancing craze of the early '90s.) "Little Miss Honky Tonk" ends the album with true Bakersfield grit that would have the late Buck Owens smiling down from his saloon in the sky.Brooks & Dunn are marking another milestone in their career with the release of The Greatest Hits Collection II, with memorable tunes like “Ain’t Nothing Bout You,” “Only in America” and “Red Dirt Road.” Here, they answer fan questions about moving the CMA Awards to New York City, Kix Brooks’ unfortunate consequences of a donkey race and why Ronnie Dunn is going to wear fishnet stockings the next time he’s in New Orleans.ġ. "Boot Scootin' Boogie" will make you want to don a huge Stetson, get your electric slide on, and party like it's 1992. Stevenson/Daniel Moore hit from 1973, "My Maria," and this version also boasts the impressive elongated inflections on the chorus, just like the original. Brooks & Dunn open the compilation with an outstanding rendition of the B.W. "Days Of Thunder" didn't hit, but the song is still a great extra with its Bob Seger-esque balladry and good ol' boy lyrics that aren't afraid to admit that a man can love his truck as much as he loves his lady. Brooks & Dunn's first hits collection is so overflowing with bona fide chart toppers that even two of the three bonus songs here became hits - the piano heavy ballad "He's Got You" and the boogie-woogie bouncing "Honky Tonk Truth" reached #2 and #3 (respectively) on the US Hot Country chart.
