Ronnie Dunn told
Country Weekly magazine that "
Country music is more diversified than ever, so you can really do more styles and different things." Lucky for
Brooks & Dunn, who've obviously used the state of
country music to their advantage, making album number nine something undoubtedly worth hearing. Or maybe it's the year they spent working on it. Whatever it is,
Steers & Stripes is one of the finer albums from the eight-time winners of CMA's Vocal Duo of the Year. It seems to recapture everything likable about
Brooks & Dunn that's been missing from the last few albums. The 14-track collection offers up a bevy of beauties from
hardcore country to some penetrating
rock. The slow, agonizing conviction in
"The Long Goodbye," the
Latin-flavored
"My Heart Is Lost to You," the reassuring sentiment in
"Unloved," and the
rockabilly revelry of
"See Jane Dance" are just a few tunes on this eminent song-packed album that really make a lasting impression.
