Brooks & Dunn Album: “The Greatest Hits Collection”

Legacy? Isn't that a strong word? When you're talking about the duo who wins the Duo of the Year award so often it should be renamed after them--no, it's not. Brooks & Dunn have built a legacy--one they continue to add to. This album, THE GREATEST HITS COLLECTION, features their early hits.

Proof that Ronnie Dunn is one of country's best vocalists is found on their cover of "My Maria." Kix Brooks gets his vocal licks in on the dance-rockers "Mamma Don't Get Dressed Up" and "Rock My World," while Dunn's opus "Boot Scoot Boogie" (quite possibly one of country music's most famous songs) will get you out of your seat and...line dancing? "Little Miss Honky Tonk" is, despite it's name, almost a solid rocker; however, if you want honky tonk, you'll love "We'll Burn that Bridge," "Brand New Man," "Hard Workin Man," "Honky Tonk Truth," "My Next Broken Heart," and "Whiskey Under the Bridge."

It's not all fun and games, though. "She Used to Be Mine" is about one of the saddest songs I've ever heard (yep, it's on par with "He Stopped Lovin Her Today"), and "She's Not the Cheatin Kind" has a harsh undertone. "That Ain't No Way To Go" and "He's Got You" pack quite a punch, while "Days of Thunder" is a reminiscent tune about the good ol' days.

Yeah, Brooks & Dunn are sure-fire number-one hitters. But they're actually GOOD. Their commercial music has always had a current of classic country running through it, and that current is most evident here: their first greatest hits collection, and certainly not the last. THE GREATEST HITS COLLECTION is a must for music fans of all genres.

So here it is: the first part of their legacy. Stay tuned: more great music to come.

Ever since Brooks & Dunn started out in 1991 I have been a big fan! This record contains all of their big, big hits!! Instead of putting only the traditional 10-11 songs they gave us 19 that is almost like 2 cd's for the price of one! This reason & their great vocal talent proves why they are the best duo of all times, best artists of all time! I recomend this title to anyone! Words can not express how good this record is! I suggest if you do not own this item buy it fast!!!!!!!

Country music is my favorite kind of music! I also listen to rock, alternative, rap, oldies...etc. Having said that, this has to be the best cd I own of any genre. You get all of B and D's hits, including some new songs that don't disappoint. It's hard to choose a favorite song because they are all so great! Their talent is incredible! They are great songwriters, muscians and entertainers! Kix and Ronnie maintain a combination of twang and rock that is consistant on these songs. It works for them and has defined them as country artists who remain true to country music! B and D will be around for a long time. Buy this album, even if you are not a country fan and it becomes the only country cd you ever buy! You can't go wrong with Brooks and Dunn!

Unbelievable that Brooks and Dunn has been around long enough to HAVE a greatest hits album. They keep churning them out with no signs of stopping, and their real fans know why. Even if you have all of B&D's CDs you'll want to add this one to your collection. Here's the best all in one, from "My Maria" to "Boot Scoot Boogie" to "Little Miss HOnky Tonk" to "She's Not the Cheatin' Kind. This CD's only fault is that it wears its fans out from dancing! Roll on, Ronnie and Kix! I can't wait for GH2!

BROOKS AND DUNN HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB OF PUTTING THEIR BEST ON THIS ALBUM. EVERY SINGLE SONG IS GOOD.MY MARIA IS DEFINATELY A HIGHLIGHT OF THIS CD, BUT THEY ALL ARE AWESOME.THIS IS ONE CD THAT YOU CAN LISTEN TO OVER AND OVER AGAIN
