Brooks & Dunn: The Honky Tonk Truth
(Willow Creek Press, 2000)
Country music powerhouses Brooks & Dunn are a raucous pair. Their
honky-tonk style and up-tempo songs helped ignite the early 1990’s
country music boom. Their talent as songwriters and performers has
shown them to be far more than purveyors of a boots-only line dance
craze.
Since teaming up in 1990, Brooks & Dunn have gone forward to become
country music’s top selling duo of all time. They have collected
countless awards including the Country Music Associations vocal Duo of
the Year, which they have won almost every year since their debut, and
Entertainer of the Year, which they won four times, the only duo to
have ever done so.
But what’s the real deal with these guys? Are they as down home as they
seem? Are they friends? Do they always have as much fun as they seem to
on stage or is it all an act?
This book is a behind-the- scenes tour of the Brooks & Dunn phenomenon
and a rare peek into the real lives of the individual stars, Kix Brooks
and Ronnie Dunn. Exciting concert photos and insightful interviews tell
how these two musicians met, became a duo, and then found fame.
