Borderline
Tribute to Brooks & Dunn
Ronnie and Joey have been close friends for several years, playing in
bands together and covering a fair share of material from their favorite
Country duo. "I always considered it a huge compliment when folks
would compare my voice to Ronnie Dunn's" confesses Ronnie. "Brooks
& Dunn have been my favorite Country act since their first album,
and I've bought every CD as soon as they were released...I've made it
a habit to learn every single they came out with, because it's great music
and always felt comfortable for me. Ronnie is one of the best singers
ever, and singing his parts is a big challenge, but I sure enjoy it."
Joey is getting a Kick out of playing Kix, emulating the high-energy stage
performance that Brooks is well known for. "I've always loved to
put on a show", he says. "One night Ronnie and I were working
in this club...he was singing "Boot Scootin' Boogie" and I was
running around like crazy in this shirt with flames on it, and we both
kinda looked at each other and smiled. We decided we'd like to focus on
doing this Tribute act, and it's turning out to be more fun than we could've
imagined."
