FIRST TIME REACTING TO BROOKS & DUNN "MY MARIA”

[@kellykeegan3569]

One of my favorite Brooks and Dunn songs!

[@trenaesumter2902]

I adore Ronnie Dunn's voice. Truly a gift from God.

[@andreaf.6572]

That song is so freaking hard to sing!!! He nails it!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@jwmson7791]

RD is a master for sure! ♥️

[@rhondawilson7561]

Not the easiest to dance to either

[@CantTakeTheSkysFromME]

I heard this after I sang it in a crowd with some friends just hanging out... I just laughed and said ya right. I don't think I sound good so, I didn't realise everyone could year me so well, lol

[@steveclarke4542]

This song is so hard to not try

[@drumking388]

Check out Austin Brown and Tim Foust of Homefree version of this song,

[@johnswift9851]

just a beautiful song that has lasted and lasted and lasted

[@leftfturn]

Brooks & Dunn were the top duo for several years. Numerous great songs from them. Tim Foust and Austin Brown do a cover of this in a backyard. Another good duo you should give a listen too is Montgomery Gentry, I think you'll enjoy them. Keep up with the great reactions. 👍👍👍

[@robinmentzer7974]

You can never go wrong with Brooks and Dunn. I love Ronnie Dunn's voice and he harmonizes so well with Kix Brooks. Amazing duo.

[@planojag595]

My favorite songs from Brooks & Dunn are That Ain’t No Way To Go; Whiskey Under the Bridge; Neon Moon; Hard Workin’ Man; She Used To Be Mine; Brand New Man; She’s Not the Cheatin’ Kind; If You See Him, If You See Her (with Reba McEntire); and of course Believe!

[@firefighterchick]

This song is one of theirs that truly showcases his vocal talent! They along with Montgomery Gentry and Big and Rich are some of the best duos of all time.

[@SteveSwags]

His voice is so ridiculously good! "Believe" is his masterpiece.

[@randytorres8211]

My Maria" was co-written by B. W. Stevenson and Daniel Moore. Stevenson released "My Maria" as a single in August 1973, and the song became a Top 10 hit, peaking at No. 9 on the US pop chart. It remained in the Top 40 for twelve weeks. Brooks & Dunn cover reached No. 1 on the US country music chart and won the 1997 Grammy for Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. (Wikipedia)

[@pinky2245]

The great thing about this is that when the subject of covering this song came up Ronnie didn't want to do it, because he figured it wouldn't work for them. Fortunately he was wrong and it became one of their greatest hits! I could listen to Ronnie's amazing voice all day long!

[@suzanna6]

Yes! I remember it well from when I was young. This version is fantastic as well. ❤

[@oldermusiclover]

I love the video for this song better

[@pinky2245]

@@oldermusiclover Actually I do too!

[@oldermusiclover]

@@pinky2245 thanks

[@laurashelton5942]

Brooks and dunn. Just amazing every time

[@emmef7970]

Love this song. One of the best country duos of all time. Another great song of theirs with a great video is Brooks and Dunn - Only in America (Live at Farm Aid 2003). Would be a great video for many Americans to see right now!! There's a spot mid video that you can appreciate. You'll know it when you see it. :)

[@janawayne]

Ronnie (and Kix of course) still has it, saw them in March 2023. So glad they're still performing together

[@soulgalorememories9921]

My wife is named Maria and this song has been my song for her for a long time. I have not heard this live version previously, but I’m so glad I have now….it was outstanding in all aspects. I’ll forgive you saying “Absolutely” and “Incredible” a million times because this was absolutely incredible 😅

[@cindyholland9581]

I've seen them in person over 15 times and they never disappoint! Incredible energy and flawless performance!!

[@oldermusiclover]

do you know who the drummer is on this video

[@jeannebrown3254]

I love Brooks and Dunn. Never been to a concert though. Great reaction. I love seeing you enjoying the country music journey you are on. Tim Foust and Austin Brown do a great rendition of this song. Maybe you could check them out sometime. Thanks for your fun reaction. Have a great day!!!😃

[@MyLorissa]

Yes, please react to Austin & Tim singing My Maria on Austin's solo channel!

[@lynnecurrie7561]

The smile on your face says it all. I could listen to Ronnie Dunn sing anything!! Great song. Legendary duo. Great choice!!

[@oldermusiclover]

this song is one of those I could listen to every hour you need to check out the video to this song also the one You Can Take The Girl Out Of The Country

[@larynanntapp6333]

I remember when this song came out....that high note had everyone in love with the song...people were in awe!

[@marybaillie8907]

This was co written by B.W. Stevenson in 1973. It made it to Number 9 for him.In 1996 Brooks and Dunn released their version. Fabulous vocals and an outstanding melody make for a catchy tune. The guitars are just mesmerizing. Live performances are so great. This was the Number 1 Country song of the year and won a Grammy for Best Song by a duo. INCREDIBLE.🎶🎶🎸🎸Great reaction Craig. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@beccaclayton9316]

Love this song!!!

[@luckylady7542]

I saw these two masters in concert in an outside venue. At the time the Oregon Jamboree in Sweet Home wasn't huge yet so it was a blast. You should give Tim Fousts version a listen. You will be amazed at his range. Thank you.😊❤

[@loklie3226]

Me too! Love the jamboree!

[@beadwright]

Its on Austin Brown's channel.

[@veronicacovatch2020]

Saw them in Vegas a few years ago.......................wonderful show and I was surprised how funny they are!

[@jamesfish2177]

One of my favorite Brooks and Dunn songs ever! Brooks and Dunn are great live. I have seen them in both small and large venues and they are fantastic! Ronnie Dunns voice is amazing!! Kix Brooks, is great as well. They are the definition of entertainers!!

[@LawrenceMclaughlan-b7u]

Ronnie dunn has 1 of best if not the greatest voice in country music today no wonder he's career has got better as time gonna on

[@oldermusiclover]

LOVE the drummer

[@monasapsford2241]

I got to see them in Vegas when they were doing a residency gig. Absolutely fabulous!

[@Princess_karen]

They were amazing, my favorite duo in country music

[@KittCrescendo]

I saw them live touring with Reba. Their energy on stage was electric…

[@whatiwasgoingtosay]

This was filmed in my favorite place on Earth, Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I’ve been to so many amazing shows there. I wish I had been at this one.

[@kimking6036]

I was watching your face so I could catch your reaction the 1st time he hit and held that note. You did not disappoint:)

[@jadefire2817]

Love B and D so much! They were absolutely what 90s country was all about. We used to joke that this song was the reason Ronnie wore those skin-tight pants (so he could hit those high notes! ) 😂

[@marleneobstnash5517]

Yes, I was at a B&D concert about 10 years ago and it was fantastic, magical and perfect. We had 5th row seats! They sang this song just like they now, not missing a note! It was a very memorable night!

[@hollyharris707]

Craig you asked bout the feelin in a small, intimate concert such as this one. Well, I really do wanna tell ya what it's like, but, well, I just can't 😮❣️. It's literally one of those thangs that'cha got to experience yerself to really understand. Yer right tho puddin 🤗, the crowd becomes one single heartbeat 💓, that'cha actually "feel", when there is so much energy bouncin around thru the crowd AND off the stage too💞😉❣️. There really is NOTHIN quite like it and I sincerely hope darlin that YOU get to experience the same thang and only then will ya "get it" too😉❣️. P.s....im purty sure after watchin you watch this, hehe, that yer face hurt for the rest of the day cause not ONCE did a smile leave yer precious little face 😍❣️. Much love from New Mexico, 🇺🇸🙏🏻❣️

[@monicawilder9411]

This song is my "one" of my favorites from Brooks and Dunn, simply because of the vocals and beat🥰

[@anthonwest9541]

He had such a great singing voice in his prime. Great song choice!

[@trishharrison3618]

Great song, lots of love from my family to yours 💗🙂 from West Virginia

[@davidbangtson3109]

I've loved this song from the very first time I heard it and I never tire of it. it was one of the first songs that made me realize that there are indeed some country songs that I like.

[@anpweed]

My husband and I saw Brooks and Dunn, along with Travis Tritt last summer. It was an awesome concert! They all sounded amazing live!

[@patriciahopkins99]

B & D never disappoint

[@angelado3]

oh I so love Brooks & Dunn !!

[@susanpeterson9947]

IMO the best song by the best ever duo in country music! 👏👏👏

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

The expression on your face is priceless!!! Love from Texas!!!

[@Nana_Reads]

Love this song and my hubby’s favourite also.

[@nhunnybee]

Great duo, awesome song and they give fun concerts.

[@melissaeager3410]

Let's Go!!

[@stew1981]

Craig I saw Blake Shelton when he was starting out in a single-room venue that had wood logs for seating. Talk about feeling close to a performance and then meeting him at his bus outside, got a t-shirt signed, the shirt was from his song Ol’ Red

[@beccaclayton9316]

I’m so glad to see you liking country!!!! As a Brit in America, I can tell you for sure that it gets a bad rap….amazing music!!!👍🏼

[@fluffylittlebear]

I've heard Ronnie sing this song acapella and it was amazing. He's one of the best vocalists in country music.

[@erniesteele3164]

Saw them live in a set just like this... Great performance and a great show.

[@authorannettepalmer]

I’d love to see you react to “I Would’ve Loved You” with Kelly Clarkson and Jake Hoot. I think you’ll love it.

[@larae2812]

Tim Foust and Austin Brown do this song in Austin’s backyard. It’s amazing. Would like to hear your reaction. Great reaction, as always!

[@cherylmitchell7934]

Hi Craig they are awesome! It doesn’t get any better than these two guys. As always you are spot on with your reaction.

[@TheBachBabe]

I love this song!! Thanks for the reaction.

[@cricketpitts3744]

Great song

[@TheWynch]

I have to admit when I first heard their cover of this song I wasn't too crazy about it, it did grow on me and now this is the version I listen to most of the time. I haven't seen them live, but I have seen so many others, if you are lucky enough to get close to the stage it is amazing.

[@suzannezethner8180]

My favorite!!!

[@edithdavis2848]

Great song . The smile is cause he hit those note clear and clean. You need to check out two guys from Home Free, Austin Brown and Tim Foust do this in Austin's backyard. There's a couple surprises waiting there.

[@jeanniewolfenbarker3962]

Great reaction! They are awesome.

[@aniceholmes3488]

So sorry I haven't communicated at all trying to catch up. I just stop at my home in a fire. But, you pick some of the greatest as all ways. Any one name Maria thinks this. Is her song. Keep up the good work and play the SONG .....DREAM WEAVER.

[@coldspring624]

The world is full of sweet sound......pretty cool hey.

[@paulashanks3129]

I saw Brooks and Dunn live at our state fa I r last summer❤😊

[@marlainalindsey3279]

I went to see them in Memphis Tennessee and they were incredible

[@Nana_Reads]

Only thing in my opinion that matches Ronnie’s vocal performance is Randy Meisner singing “Take it to the Limit” at a 1977 Eagles concert. Also “Red Dirt Road “ by Brooks and Dunn is great but the Sugarland version at the Brooks and Dunn tribute is incredible!

[@joeyrobison6629]

This was a cover of a 1973 hit by BW Stevenson. Check that version out!

[@BelleDede01]

My number one favorite from these guys. Thank you so much for the reaction. Love from Canada Many people hear the expression 'Boot, Scootin' Boogie' but they don't know the song or even who sings it. Please do a reaction to it. That will put you in a great mood. Thanks kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmGYpYSonbOAoaM

[@TexasMagnolia]

I love this video!! Craig, you have to hear Kix sing lead. Please react to: You’re Gonna Miss Me When I’m Gone. You’d enjoy the original video.

[@larrywilliams5014]

I remember and enjoyed the original version from B.W. Stevenson back in 1973. This was the rare exception where the remake outshone the original.

[@CantTakeTheSkysFromME]

Cant help but sing a long each time.

[@sheilaransom1080]

George Strait actually said Brooks and Dunn are his favorite! Catch Gene Watson singing " Farewell Party" , he can hold a note like no one else.

[@thundermite1241]

Also red dirt road by brooks and dunn is really good too

[@TexasMagnolia]

I was right at the stage on many George Strait concerts.

[@celiasalsa8871]

In the 80’s and 90’s you could go to honkeytonks to see up and coming artists and dance until until they shut down and kicked you out the door. I’ve seen George Straight, Brooks and Dunn, Micheal Martin Murphy, The Bellamy Brothers, and more. The sad thing is that now they fill mostly big venues. Those were the days!!

[@greeneyes92061]

Listen to Tim Foust and Austin Brown sing it! 👍🏼❤️

[@patriciahopkins99]

May I suggest Brooks and Dunn “this is where the cowboy rides away”

[@m.harrison2151]

You should check out Austin Brown & Tim Foust of Home Free version of this song, it can be found on Austin’s KZbin channel! Pretty awesome, with a twist, because Tim is singing the high part! Please react to it! Thanks!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Wonderful reaction! They are both impressive live with great stage presence, I love that Rodney sounds as good (or better) live as recorded.

[@lkchilders5275]

You should watch the hole concert it awesome

[@KataliaKitty]

Wanted to throw a couple of quick suggestions and throw Billy Currington's "Good Directions", "People Are Crazy" and "Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right" to you! Billy Currington is a great artist and you should give him a listen! Fun rabbit hole to run down!

[@mayrarisch8893]

Another artist you should check out is; Diana Ankudinova. Please react to her cover songs; Wicked Game, Can't Help Falling in Love & Human. Her voice will amaze you!!!

[@KarenWahlenberg-pv7xz]

Omg Craig find Austin and Tim from home free singing this.. you will love it..

[@xScooterAZx]

This is a cover though. In August 1973, pop-country singer B.W. Stevenson co-wrote and released this song. Here's the original" kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3K0nZpopriFaNk

[@zeblockheadgaming]

You should listen to "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynrd Skynrd. It seems like a song you would like.

[@mikeminden1090]

Showing my age by saying I prefer the original. (But MY Maria was a cutie in junior high) Kind of sad that B.W. wasn't around to enjoy the royalties.

[@D.J.137]

Check out wade hayes old enough to know better

[@patriciahopkins99]

Please review Chris Stapleton “it takes a woman”

[@trudywolfe2795]

PLEASE OVER THE RAINBOW BY ISRAEL "IZ" K...

[@thundermite1241]

Check yes or no by george strait ia what id reccomend

[@karehelene]

I think I prefer the original to this cover.

[@Jack-qe8we]

Cain's ballroom Tulsa Oklahoma I've had a lot of hangovers from that place Ronnie Dunn never forgot his roots
