Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Brooks & Dunn - My Maria! OH they dipping they taquito!

[@lindajohns7063]

Brooks and Dunn are just as great live too. I went to a concert of theirs around the time this came out. It was truly amazing!

[@walrusjax]

Greatest thing about this song is when you are driving and nobody is in your car so you can try to hit that high note without embarrassing yourself!!!

[@cassianfalkener3706]

When people react to this, I always want to comment about how it's the song you wish you could actually sing along to. 😂

[@Jdwray12]

And we've all tried it

[@EXLR8N]

Correct, sir!! 😊

[@boonemyers4739]

Even better is when you have three people and everyone tries to hit it lol.

[@lindawelshans4212]

Or holding the note for that long!

[@Eurynomea]

I'm 61 and this song STILL gives me chills. Ronnie Dunn even sounded like this in live performances. They were the verified Dynamic Duo, just sayin.

[@anpweed]

Totally agree! Saw them in concert a couple of years ago. They were awesome!

[@erniesteele3164]

@@anpweed Us too... This song sounded the same in person... It was great!

[@Jbcatjilly]

Yep, I’ve seen them numerous times & they sound just like they do on the radio. They have actual talent!

[@thefoss5387]

This one was written and recorded in 1973 by B.W. Stevenson, a Dallas native. Stevenson had his career tragically cut short, dying from an infection after a heart valve surgery at age 38.

[@DRAGON_FAN_TIM]

Ronnie Dunn sounds like him when he sings the song.

[@user-ii4zf5iq3t]

I thought I remembered it...Al those road trips in Tejas.

[@stephaniewarthen]

I love when he hits that high "Mariiiiia!"

[@Jdwray12]

I don't think Brooks and Dunn made a bad song. You can just pull them up and start reacting and ever song will impress. They have serious love songs, working man songs, playful songs, life songs. Ronnie Dunn is one of the best vocalist ever

[@cassianfalkener3706]

That being said, Kix Brooks can sing as well. Doesn't matter which one is at the mic, the song is still going to be the sort that aspiring country singers can only dream about. (And I'm not that big of a country fan.)

[@blueboy4244]

I liked this song when B.W.Stevenson did it in 1973

[@xScooterAZx]

They didnt make this. B.W. Stevenson did in 1973.

[@cassianfalkener3706]

@@xScooterAZx Whether or not they wrote it, or were the first to release it, they did "make" this version of it. The original version has been well represented elsewhere in the comments.

[@xScooterAZx]

@@cassianfalkener3706 I can add my two cents as well. Others have. So just ignore my comment if it bothers you that much.

Kix brooks owns some of the best if not the best cutting and reigning quarterhorses in the US and possibly the world! Just a little fact!

Kix also owns Arrington Winery in Tennessee.

[@wiggy3333]

Who knew?! Thanks for the info. 😊

[@robinmoore2605]

This is a cover. I absolutely LOOOOOVE Brooks and Dunn, but B W Stevenson was the original singer and his version is GREAT also!!!!!!

[@rebeccacurtis6680]

When Brooks & Dunn came out with their version, it had been about a decade since the original, and I kept thinking, "I know I've heard this song before, but when & by whom?" The original wasn't played much by then & I was little when it came out in early 70s, but that tune was still very familiar. I just recently learned that B. W. Stephenson also wrote "Shambala," which was later made a hit by Three Dog Night. I also just learned Stephenson was a Texan like myself. Small world. Both versions are wonderful.

[@reneeeiier4818]

Like you, I loved this song in the 70s, and I was so happy when one of my favorite duos recorded it.

[@reneeeiier4818]

​@rebeccacurtis6680 haha try closer to 25 years after. The original was 1973, Brooks & Dunn was 1997. It is a great song, and I love both versions.

[@terrybabola9332]

BW "buckwheat" Stevenson played alot in Austin in the early 70's

[@wtk6069]

They definitely did Stevenson's memory justice with this version.

That being said, make NO mistake, Kix Brooks can also sing. I'll keep the personal story to myself, but if you go to a concert, you'll hear them both. I'd love to see a reaction or two to some of the songs with Kix on the lead vocals.

Tim Faust and Austin Brown sang this. Both are from the Home Free. Tim, who is the bass, has a 5 octive range sings the high part.

[@brendasorenson6186]

Tim ~Foust~. It can be found on Austin Brown's channel. It's not a capella, but it's a fun version to check out, especially since Tim is a natural super bass and is singing high tenor while Austin, a high tenor, is singing the low tenor.

I wonder have you heard of Martina McBride?? Another incredible powerhouse voice in country. Quite possibly the best, arguably. She has a few songs like Broken Wing, Independence Day, and I’m Gonna Love You Through It. I think you would absolutely freak out over her voice

[@cheriemelissa]

This was absolutely one of the most melodic songs I have ever heard. You were a blast to watch, so fun!!!!!!!!!!!! Ronnie Dunn's voice is amazing!!!!!! It was nothing bad as to why they split. They were just tired after so many years and both wanted to do some solo work. They did get back together at the urging of the record label and so they were back on. So nothing bad happened!!!!!!

I personally spoke with Kix Brooks about the break up... What Kix Told Me was that Ronnie Dunn was battling with cancer so he had to step away and focus on healing and family. I was told this directly from Kix Himself face to face. Great guy BTW... We talked for some time.... Anyway, not sure what the rumors are but this is what I was told directly.... Apparently they are back together so I am guessing that Ronnie got better?! Just glad to know they are still kicking it together !

[@slodrigue83]

They are back and touring. Saw them two year and they still got it!

[@MiscBains]

My mom was around 23 and bartending back in the day. I was 7, running around the bar during the day hours, the old timers and regulars being like a bunch of grandpas and uncles. Not creeps, these guys. Anyway, whenever my mom would clock in, they'd start singing this song to her, because her name is Marie. It was cute, and she loved it.

[@toddleider5081]

I'm gonna let her fly with Ronnie Dunn and Jennifer Neddles. 2 of the best voices EVER!!!!

I loved being twirled around the dance floor doing the 2 step in my younger years… still wouldn’t mind going for a twirl today when I hear this song again.

[@skywarrior00]

"As Good as I Once Was" is classic Toby Keith and the video is very entertaining. Very much worth a listen and very much a "guy thing". Like most Toby Keith. If you haven't listened to his "Red Solo Cup" you really should.

[@michellejackson6679]

I love that Kix is riding that horse and doing amazing background vocals here..We all know Ronnie's amazing voice.. Don't ever forget ... It's Brooks and Dunn.. it's not just Ronnie Dunn.. Kix 's Brooks is great too
