Brooks and Dunn calling it quits

Post by msu#1 »

Next Summer will be their final tour and then they are retiring and spliting up.

About 6 years ago they tried to start a giant tour that they called the Brooks and Dunn Carnival Rodeo or something like that. Their idea was to hopefully have it become a staple of summer and they said "hopefully it will turn into something like Jimmy Buffetts tours". Of course it didnt.

Yeah, sure. Most musicians/groups who retire find out they really miss the fans' adoration and the creative outlet and all that stuff. Oh, and the money.
Then they come back. Thank goodness (sometimes). 8)

Then they can have a 10 year reunion tour, ala the Eagles.

It's always kind of sad when things like this happens, but I guess in retrospect it is a way to celebrate their career. And as mentioned before we can still listen to their CD's :)

Nothing increases ticket sales like your first farewell tour. :lol: :lol: 8)

(The writing was on the wall the year they didn't win "duo of the year", IMHO)
Just sayin'...and I like them. :shrug:

It's pop country. Will anyone care if they reunite for reunion tour? They were probably heading to county fair circut where nearly all bad country acts turn up at sooner or later. Can't blame them for trying top pull in a decent payday before it's over. Pop Country fans are fickle. Brooks & Dunn-Montgomery Gentry-Rascall Flatts-is there really that big of a difference?

Or maybe they are just ready to get off the road and retire.

Great job guys, nice career, and congratulations for being able to ride off into the sunset while respecting your fans

I liked them years ago, favorite song being ("Mexican Minutes") but their recent songs were kinda lame. I mean "Cowgirls don't Cry"?
Nevertheless I'm sure they'll be back.
