Brooks & Dunn Announced on Their Website that They are Ending Duo
Brooks & Dunn have called it quits, and are bringing to an end one of the most successful country music duos of all time. In an announcement geared towards their fans, Brooks & Dunn issued the statement that, "After 20 years of making music and riding this trail together, we have agreed as a duo that it's time call it a day". The Brooks & Dunn retirement is sure to be the biggest news in country music this year.
Brooks & Dunn Final Album
The Brooks & Dunn final album as a duo will be released on September 8th, 2009, and is titled #1's and then some. It should be an album that sells a lot of units, and with the announcement that Brooks & Dunn is being retired as a group, it should draw even more fans to buy it off the shelves early. The new and final album will be a compilation of some of the hits Brooks & Dunn took to #1, as well as a couple of other songs that they have been proud of creating.
The Brooks & Dunn Farewell Tour
Along with the announcement that Brooks & Dunn were calling it quits, came the notification that the duo plans to make one final tour for the fans. The Brooks & Dunn Farewell Tour is expected to be announced as 2010 draws closer, with the name of the tour being called The Last Rodeo Tour. It will probably be the last chance that fans will have to see Brooks & Dunn live in a full concert setting, and tickets are already expected to be one of the hottest of the early 2010 concert season.
Brooks & Dunn, The Greatest Country Music Duo
Through their career, Brooks & Dunn have racked up country music awards not just within their genre, but in general, making them one of the most awarded country music duos in the history of country music. According to Wikipedia's breakdown of the Brooks & Dunn awards over the years, they have taken home 26 Academy of Country Music Awards, 17 Country Music Association Awards, three American Music Awards, two Grammy Awards, a Billboard Music Award, and a People's Choice Award. That list of accolades is quite a remarkable feat.
Brooks & Dunn Studio Albums
Over their career, there have been 10 Brooks & Dunn studio albums as well as six compilation albums, stretching from 1991's Brand New Man, all the way up to 2007's Cowboy Town, and the soon to be released #1's and Then Some. It has certainly been an illustrious career, and Brooks & Dunn will most likely be considered one of the best country duos out there for many years after they officially retire.
