BROOKS & DUNN: Walking the Walk…and Catching Some Z’s

Brooks & Dunn are red-hot right now with their latest Top 5 hit, “Put a Girl in It” — and the new video for the song is all over the airwaves this week at CMT and GAC — but the excitement doesn’t stop there as the duo has more big doings on tap over the next few days. On Monday, August 4, Kix and Ronnie will be in Hollywood as the recipients of the 2,367th Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! They’ll join an amazing list of legendary luminaries of the entertainment world to have earned this very special honor — and friends Dr. Phil and Robin McGraw will be on hand as guest speakers at the presentation to the duo. …And this Friday, August 1, Kix and Ronnie continue their Cowboy Town Tour with the addition of a very special guest: rock & roll icons, ZZ Top. “We learned a really valuable lesson opening for The Rolling Stones,” Kix said, “that those kind of rock fans are not that different than our fans. It’s hard to say you don’t dig ZZ Top!” (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

  • ZZ Top will join the guys for nearly 20 dates, beginning Friday night in Albuquerque. Check out brooks-dunn.com for all the latest tour info!
  • “Put a Girl in It” is the third smash — following “God Must Be Busy” and “Proud of the House We Built” — all from the duo’s Cowboy Town album.

Ronnie
: “We’re bringin’ in ZZ Top…”
Kix: “Hmm, hmm, haw, haw, hmm, hmm…”
Ronnie: “(laughs) …and our first inclination was to go for the Top, just ’cause we knew ’em through CMT, and I think the music would be fun…”
Kix: “We learned a really valuable lesson opening for The Rolling Stones that those kind of rock fans are not that different than our fans at all, and our fans are just like we are. You know, it’s hard to say you don’t dig ZZ Top! You just don’t find those people very often.”
