Full Version: Brooks and Dunn call it quits.

Hard Promises
Hey all,

As a long time country music fan, I was saddened and shocked to hear that B&D have decided after their 2010 tour that they are done. I can remember as the assist. mgr. for a local music retail store in Rochester, right out of college, and playing the promo copy of "Brand New Man". I'd play it so often, people would ask "Who is this that is playing?" I used to sell it out and have to reorder the album (okay CD's and cassette tapes) three times a week! Times certainly have changed. Wow, why do I feel so old? Gonna miss this two as a duo. Wish them all the best.

So, what do you all think? Sure, change is good. Are you ready for Sugarland to maintain the duo of the next 20 or so years?

And just try and tell me you don't want to get up and dance when Boot Scootin' Boogie is played wink.gif . Still love Brand New Man and Neon Moon.

Just thought I'd share.

Wow, that is shocking, and sad, news. I hope it's a decision they're both happy with, but man that's gonna leave a gap. And yes, for some reason this news makes me feel old too -- but alas a lot of stuff makes me feel old these days. smile.gif

And no, I'm not ready for Sugarland to maintain "COUNTRY" duo from now on -- think I'll stop sharing my opinion on that one right there but I'm guessing you know what I'm thinking.

Thanks for sharing HP. Keep smiling!!

Shut Up!!! ohmy.gif Where'd you hear this? I heard a while back that they were doing solo "projects", but not breaking up??? sad.gif I won't allow it!!! dry.gif Somebody find me some dirt on both of them!!! Brooks & Dunn are like Peanut Butter & Jelly they're suppose to be together!!!

I'm absolutely stunned! Hopefully, they will have future collaborations. I do wish them the best of everything in all their endeavors.

I shocked blink.gif that Brooks & Dunn called it quits sad.gif .. wish them best in solo acting ..

I am quite saddened, but definitley understand. 20 years is a long time of making great music, and it's awesome that they are going out on top. They way they have worded it I wonder if one of them isn't quite ready to give it ALL up and might be headed solo?? That'll be odd, but anywho.. I wish them the best of luck. I am so thankful I have caught them live, and perhaps...just maybe I'll be able to get my hands on some Last Rodeo tickets.

Well, now that they have announced that next year's tour is it, I decided that I will go see B&D on Sunday! It will take me 1 1/2 hours to get there, but it should be worth it. I figure it will be my last time seeing the duo together. I'm sure they will both end up doing the solo act. Wonder what they will say about the split, if anything. "I'm gonna miss them when they're gone".
