Duo Brooks & "Done", Calling It Quits

The most successful duo in Country Music history has decided to part ways. :( Announced on their Official Website;

To Our Fans:

After 20 years of making music and riding this trail
together, we have agreed as a duo that it's time to call it a day. This ride has
been everything and more than we could ever have dreamed.... We owe it all to
you, the fans. If you hear rumors, don't believe them, it's just time.

Is the success of Sugarland taking its toll on the duo (as their success did to The Judds) or are they truly just done? They will never really be gone, their music will stand the test of time. They have spawned more than forty singles on the country music charts, twenty of which have reached number one (no small feat). Brooks & Dunn also won the CMA Vocal Duo of the Year award every year between 1992 and 2006, except for 2000 when Montgomery Gentry took the honor. In addition, Brooks & Dunn won the Entertainer of the Year award in 1996 among countless other industry awards.

What will become of the two afterwards, well we know they were both singer/songwriters before joining forces, but since then Kix Brooks has been the only one to lend his writing hand to other artists, he also hosts American Country Countdown, a nationally syndicated radio program which counts down the Top 40 country singles in the United States. But what about Ronny Dunn???

They will not be leaving right away, they will be releasing one more album "#1's and then some" on September 8th. Then they will bid the fans goodbye on their "The Last Rodeo Tour", in 2010!
Myself I have seen them twice and they put on one great show, no one is sitting. They have the energy and the chemistry and for sure could keep on truckin'. Well 2010 is a long time away and sharing one more tour could very well change their minds. Micheal Jordan and Brett Favre tried to call it quits and they still came back for more, is all I'm saying!!!
