4.0 out of 5 stars Best in awhile, October 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Tight Rope (Audio CD)

B&D haven't put out anything captivating since album #2, but this CD has it's share of great songs. Even the Kix vocal songs are pretty good on this effort. Aside from the John Waite remake (which could have been left off entirely), this is a solid album, the best in awhile. Tracks like "Hurt Train", "You'll always be loved by me", and "All out of Love" are prime examples of what catapulted B&D to the top. Ronnie Dunn's vocals have never been better. A great CD if you're looking for a little less Honky-Tonk & Boot Scootin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tight Rope First Step in New Direction Awesome Album!!!, May 6, 2004

I am a serious Brooks & Dunn fan and Tight Rope is equal to, if not better than some of their other albums. This album was definately a change of pace from previous albums, but it is a stepping stone towards what Brooks & Dunn accomplished on "Steers & Stripes" and "Red Dirt Road". Its true that none of the songs were co-written by the duo, but they each bring some unique material to the table and they are both amazing song writers. Ronnie's voice is flawless as always, but Kix also steps it up on this album and I think that his songs are a nice contrast to Ronnie's. If given more opportunities I think some of Kix's songs could shine as singles, but he is willing to let Ronnie sing on songs that have a good chance of being hits.

Anyone out there who has liked Brooks & Dunn will enjoy this album. Ignore the critics and make up your own minds as to what is a good record and what isn't. If you don't own this album you need to buy it.

This review is from: Tight Rope (Audio CD)

Brooks & Dunn have overdone themselves with this one...its better than their "If You See Her" cd...you'll hear that classic Brooks & Dunn in here..despite bad reviews..this is a reg in my cd player..it too ka while to get used to since maybe those reviews were in my mind subconsciously...THIS IS A GREAT CD..maybe equal to Steer's & Stripes...I gave it a bad review before but I was wrong it is very good.....incredibly good

1.Goin' Under Getting' Over You-From its honky tonk uptemp intro...full of fiddles and steel guitars...great song!!! love the lyrics too...good love song..sung by Roonie Dunn and its funny the way he says the words...I cant get over the awesome chorus and the steel guitar in it it's solo..just great..one of my fav's!!!!

2. Missing You-My second fav of this cd...great single on the radio...didn't do too good though...Dunn can sing this better than John Waite anyday!!! this song is sad though...makes me think about an old time...great fiddle and electric/steel guitar in here..the way Dunn carries a tune is terrific...one of Dunn's best!!!

3. Temptation #9-great song!!! sung by Kix Brooks..great catchy intro...love the beat....the chorus is great and very captivating..that electric guitar makes ya crazy..in a good way..then that smooth fiddle comes in...you must hear it!

4. Hurt Train-nice slow ballad with a steady beat...background vocals...really good song...Dunn sings this pain as any heartbroken person knows....

5. Can't Stop My Heart-this song is INCREDIBLE!!! very catchy tune by Kix...I think the chorus is immensely great..."o..it feels what it wants to feel..and it does what it wants to do.."..a medium paced song....electric in here too...a never-skip song on this cd.

6. Too Far This Time-A slow ballad...the beginning sounded like "Born & Raised In Black In White" ..lol....a good nice song...not my fav...but great love song...Ill tell you the truth I skip it sometimes...sung by Ronnie

7. You'll Always Be Loved By Me-woulda been the title cut...the part where it mentions the "tight rope"...a great single....I love this song....great steel!! Sung of course by Dunn...the lyrics are done downright good!

8. I Love You More-the intro isn't that good..but the chorus gets a lil better..I don't care for this one...it really depends on my mood..it has some music highlights though...sung by Kix...

9. Beer Thirty-Another Honky Tonk song!!! another fav...very country song...another uptempo-smiling rockin' country song...very Brooks & Dunn...all the instruments in here are great!!!! but a short one....good piano sound at the end

10. Don't Look Back Now-MY FAV SONG ON HERE!!! I love everything about his song..very country..great beat...the music is extremely good as well as Kix's voice in the chorus...gotta love that steel guitar!!!! a break-up song with well-written lyrics!!
11. All Out of Love- intense vocals by Ronnie Dunn...great ballad about heartaches....great steel guitar...and the music is great too..its sad too...

12. The Trouble With Angels- Kix pins this one...terrific love song...I love it all..one of my fav's!!!! the lyrics are great too!!!

13. Texas And Norma Jean- slow song by Kix again...not so catchy intro with the lyrics but the song gets better...a good song..not my fav..but a nice tune...

THIS CD IS REALLY GOOD!! a country cd that all would enjoy if they gave it a chance...it really shows off Brooks & Dunn's talent as singers and I wish it did a lot better...they are underated and this is too...youll love it if ya love Brooks & dunn..i have been a fan for very long....and they weren't walkin on a tight rope...

Includes lyrics and a cool cover...has that new cd smell that's good
