Brand New Man – Brooks & DunnView More By Brooks & Dunn Our ReviewWhen Brand New Man was released in 1991, few predicted that Brooks & Dunn would go on to become the most successful country duo of the modern era.

Ronnie Dunn was the quietly intense singer with the soulful voice, while Kix Brooks played the part of the high-energy showman.
