Reviews Customer Reviews for Brand New Man      Great start to the legend!      Rating:      What a great way to start the career of the most successful duo in music history. There isn't a bad song on the cd. With "Brand New Man", "My Next Broken Heart", "Neon Moon", and "Boot Scootin Boogie" all topping the chart and "Lost and Found" landing at 6 on Billboard, the record was a huge success. "Cool Drink of Water", "Cheatin on the Blues", and "I'm No Good", are all fun upbeat country songs. "I've Got a Lot to Learn" and "Still in Love With You" show off Dunn's remarkable knack for singing a powerful ballad. An important start to your country collection.     Customer Reviews for Brand New Man Cd      Stellar Country Music      Rating:      It's all typical country, with the usual subject matters and the twangy steel guitars, etc. So, what makes this music so special?: Very high quality songwriting and superb singing by Ronnie Dunn. Kix Brooks isn't a bad singer (and the harmonzing with Ronnie sounds great), but he's not in Ronnie's league. Listen to Boot Scootin' Boogie on a high-quality stereo system -- this song is particularly well-produced and the vocals don't have any false echo chambering or reverb (unlike Neon Moon) -- we get to hear Ronnie Dunn's unadulterated sustain on the first "Go to boot scootin' boogie" and it's an act of pure loveliness, along with beautiful phrasing and intonation throughout. Kix Brooks can certainly write/co-write great songs, but with Ronnie available to do the singing, Kix should probably content himself with valuable harmonizing duties. We all know the great songs here: All Of Them! Lots of well-deserved #1 hits. An essential country record. Editorial Reviews for Brand New Man Audio Cd      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
