Brand New Man

Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn were already building strong solo careers in the 1980s, but everything changed when Tim DuBois suggested they record together. Brooks & Dunn became far more than a one-off pairing, kicking off one of country music’s great success stories.

Their debut album was a huge statement, landing four number one hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. It went seven times platinum in the US, with seven million copies sold, and three times platinum in Canada, underlining just how far its reach went.

Boot Scootin' Boogie became the record’s defining single, helping spark the 1990s line dancing revival all on its own. That kind of cultural impact does not come around often, and it makes this LP edition feel especially welcome.
