Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential recording

One of country music's best-selling acts of the '90s, Brooks & Dunn came out blazing with their debut. Still ranks as their strongest collection, it's the place for any new fan to start. Throughout, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn come across as rambunctiously macho yet willing to settle down--should the right woman come along. "My Next Broken Heart" encapsulates the rough-and-tumble male archetype who audaciously begins seeking his next lover before the old embers have cooled. But, on "Brand New Man," they sound genuine while promising that they can be unselfish and responsible. The album also features "Boot Scootin' Boogie," which nearly single-handedly launched the line-dance craze. --Michael McCall

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Country, December 3, 2002

By	Russell Diederich (Littleton, CO United States) - See all my reviews

There is nothing quite like this duo anywhere in music. Great harmonies, good country picking, and great songs. This album definitely set the tone for their career, and there was nowhere to go but up from here. If you like the new generation of Country music, then you should have this album in your collection. These boys mix upbeat shuffles with ballads covering a large range of music on just one album. There is nothing these two can't play.

The best song on the album is the closing ballad "Still In Love with You". They lyrics are shear poetry. Another great ballad is "Neon Moon". Again, they hit the nail on the head with "Lost and Found". For as good as their ballads are, their upbeat stuff is incredible as well. "Boot Scootin' Boogie" pretty much put them on the roadmap of Country music, but songs like "Cool Drink of Water" with its upbeat humor just show this band's versatility.

Country music has a bright future with bands like Brooks and Dunn making music of this caliber. Music like this is becoming more mainstream and popular. Garth Brooks might have started that movement, but artists like B&D, Alan Jackson, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are carrying that momentum with ease.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific debut...no filler at all, December 14, 2000

By	G. Sawaged (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I defy anyone to listen to 'Boot Scootin' Boogie' and not want to get up and dance. It just grabs a hold and pulls you to your feet. Just try to resist!! Most of these songs are up-tempo danceable numbers, but then there's the beautiful ballad 'Neon Moon'. A terrific debut, and just a hint of the great stuff yet to come.
