Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Brooks and Dunn albums often blend powerful, soaring performances with a number of utter throwaways. "American Dreamers," a nostalgic look back, "God Must Be Busy," a powerful musing on present travails, and "Cowgirls Don't Cry," reflecting on life's curve balls, all surpass the utterly predictable "Proud of the House We Built." Likewise, "Tequila"'s driving country boogie trumps fluff like "Cowboy Town" and "Drop in the Bucket." While ostensibly honoring two departed icons (along with Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams Sr.), "Johnny Cash Junkie (Buck Owens Freak)" seems mainly conceived to invoke those hallowed names alongside those of the Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, and CMT. Far stronger is "The Ballad of Jerry Jeff Walker," a knowing celebration of the Texas legend (who does a cameo) and the '70s Austin country-rock scene he dominated. The edgy, inspired arrangement of the Darrell Brown/Radney Foster tune "Drunk on Love" churns and rocks, yet never once does the arrangement overwhelm the witty lyrics. In the end, the same question remains: How can an act so capable of greatness deliver such uneven albums? --Rich Kienzle

Product Description
The brand new album from Brooks & Dunn featuring the hit single Proud Of The House We Built. Cowboy Town is the much anticipated follow up to Brooks & Dunn's highest selling album in 10 years, Hillbilly Deluxe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Now, THIS is Hillbilly Deluxe!, October 2, 2007
By A. Gammill (West Point, MS United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Now, this is a little more like it. I admit, 2005's HILLBILLY DELUXE was a big hit for the guys, but I felt it was really just average work. As the Amazon reviewer pointed out above, Brooks & Dunn's albums do tend to have about an even mix of great songs and suprisingly mediocre ones. And while COWBOY TOWN isn't perfect, it certainly hits more than it misses.

The lead single, "Proud of the House We Built" is cut from the same cloth as 2003's excellent "Red Dirt Road." The guys' affection for the Rolling Stones (heard also in two songs on the RED DIRT ROAD disc) comes through not only in direct references ("Johnny Cash Junkie") but in the playful, honkytonk rhythm of cuts like the spirited "Put a Girl In It."

In fact, much of COWBOY TOWN pays tribute to seventies-era rock and country. Kix Brooks' "Drop in the Bucket" is such a textbook ZZ Top number, I was surprised to learn the song wasn't a cover of some lost tune from the fun-lovin' Texans. Brooks' ongoing Seger-esque observations of lost joys of youth inform every moment of "Ballad of Jerry Jeff Walker", which features a gargoyle-voiced cameo from its title character.

Inevitably, after nearly an album's worth of up-tempo numbers about cowboys, girls and booze, the duo succumbs to the now-obligatory Thoughtful Ballad or two. Good intentions aside, it's hard to defend such trite observations as "A preacher named King/Well, he had a dream" (from "American Dreamer") or most any line from the current events travelogue of the second single "God Must Be Busy." With ballads--and Brooks and Dunn should know this by now, after "Believe" spent like 30 weeks on the charts--less is more. The guys are at their best when they relax with a simple story song like "Cowgirls Don't Cry."

I think COWBOY TOWN works for both longtime fans and relative newcomers. For the former, the album is along the same lines as RED DIRT ROAD, with less filler. And to the latter, it might prove a welcome remedy from the same old redneck garbage being put out by Toby Keith, or any number of slick but empty new artists clogging up the radio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best one yet, October 27, 2007
Brooks and Dunn continue to set the pace for other artists to follow! Cowboy Town turns the heat up a notch with a carefully orchestrated controlled explosion of power, punch and pazzazz! Great honky-tonk dance tunes; heart-felt tributes to some of the legendary great influences; rollicking fun songs that touch the heart of relationships; poigniant looks at advice from dad's to daughters; celebration of "girl power"; and a soul-stirring song that reaches below the surface of our wonderings and longings for a more ordered world in "God Must Be Busy!" Love the attention to detail in the musical mixing as well. Pure genius!
