Brooks and Dunn Red Dirt Road Contemporary Country Music CD Review

Brooks and Dunn, very talented Contemporary Country group have released their latest CD titled Red Dirt Road and Wow! It's good.

I wish it weren't the case but, it's not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Red Dirt Road. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

These days it's a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

If you're even mildly into Contemporary Country music you'll enjoy this album. Overall Red Dirt Road is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While the entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 1 - You Can't Take The Honky Tonk Out Of The Girl, track 4 - That's What She Gets For Loving Me, and track 7 - I Used To Know This Song By Heart

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 12 - My Baby's Everything I Love. Good stuff!
