THOSE NOTES!| FIRST TIME HEARING Brooks & Dunn - My Maria REACTION

[@timgerke8714]

Neon Moon and Boot Scootin' Boogie must get a reaction.

[@Head-ck4hu]

They should do the George Strait cover of it.

[@geraldbarras7785]

I have to agree, finishes out my top 5 B & D favorites. Had lots of fun dancing to Boot Scootin Boogie back when I dabbled in that past time for a few years as a young adult.

[@tracycole3941]

BOOT SCOOTIN' please!

[@cassianfalkener3706]

Can't argue either suggestion, and I would be surprised if Neon Moon wasn't next. "That Ain't No Way To Go" is one of my favorites, but I'd also love to see a reaction to a song where Brooks is the lead singer. "Rock My World (Little Country Girl)" would be a good choice, and has a similar feel to the other one they enjoyed so much.

[@petestaint8312]

Agreed!!! 👍

[@rockzhard2009]

there's a reason Brooks and Dunn hold the record for most CMA country duo awards at 14. and most nominations at 24. they were untouchable.

[@seanscanlon9067]

They are great but in fairness, other than perhaps say The Judds who were coming to the end of their run and maybe Montgomery Gentry for a time, who else was there? Most CMA Awards categories usually have five nominees and I think one year Brooks and Dunn only had three rivals it was that much of a struggle to come up with some duos! I always thought for the fun if it and in order to be nominated, Garth Brooks and Holly Dunn should have teamed up together.

[@rockzhard2009]

@@seanscanlon9067 well the fact that they are the only duo to ever win Entertainer of the Year, and they did it twice, i think pretty much solidifies my statement that they were untouchable.

[@seanscanlon9067]

@@rockzhard2009 Agreed and my opening gambit on my initial post was that they are great but again though, what other duo would be likely to win it? It will usually either be a solo artist or a band with a minimum of three members, like Dixie Chicks for example.

[@trjbrew]

"Neon Moon" is my favorite from them, but their catalog is extensive. A great rabbit hole to go down.

[@JCourts2k23]

Neon Moon is definitely my favorite of B&D!!!!!!!!!

[@tanamcelderry386]

Neon Moon!!! Such a beautiful song.

[@bluetopguitar1104]

A fun tune to play , kind of R&B feel.

[@roniboyd613]

Yep, my fave Brooks & Dunn song too❤

[@DoranneB]

Neon Moon is my all time favorite Brooks and Dunn song! Love love it!

[@weshawks4162]

“Brand new man”, “you’re gonna miss me” and “he’s got you” are 3 of their best!!!

This is a cover originally done by BW Stevenson

[@marysalazar7965]

And to me it's a better version.

[@billyt9987]

Sometimes the cover is way better. There's plenty of them to prove the point. "I will always love you". Whiney took it from Dolly and did not give it back.

[@craigcraigster4999]

​@@marysalazar7965l prefer B.W. Stevenson's original from 1973 (I was 14 back then). 🤠

I'm pretty sure they've already done the original!

Ronnie has an amazing voice. He goes from full voice to falsetto so smoothly. Check "Neon Moon" if you want another big hit.

[@cameronard9225]

My dad always told me that Ronnie Dunn was put on this earth to do one thing and thats to sing a country song. Amazing singer and nobody sounds like him.

[@PaHeadhunter]

Try ‘Neon Moon,’ ‘Hard Workin Man,’ or ‘That Ain’t No Way To Go’ next. There are so many great Brooks And Dunn songs left to hear.

[@laurawolpert9601]

That ain't no way to go, yes! Such a great song!

[@ef7558]

I remember I was dating this girl in my college years who was into hard rock and what have you. One day she needed a ride home after class and I said no problem, but I get to pick the music. She rolled her eyes because she knew I liked old rock and country. I played this song and the look in her eyes.......PRICELESS. She BEGGED me for their name and when I told her she said "I'll never forget their name"! It was maybe a few weeks and she walked into class with a Brooks & Dunn shirt. I was SMILING on the inside!

[@54cattleco]

Ronnie Dunn singing, Kix Brooks is the one riding the horse

[@p.j.morris]

You don't say lol

[@cassianfalkener3706]

...this time around. Dunn is the lead vocals on more than half of their songs, but either one of them can step up to the mic and get the crowd going.

[@jennifursun3303]

have heard that he was sick when this was done and he wasn't sure he could sing the hight part and the horse belonged to Kix

[@seanscanlon9067]

@@p.j.morris You do get right that Jay was saying during the video that he did not know if the singer was Brooks or Dunn?.....So @54cattleco was basically telling him. And apart from anything else, I am from London in the UK and KZbin is global, and although I personally know who Ronnie and Kix are and that between them Ronnie usually does the lead vocal, there will be plenty of UK viewers to this channel who do not know, plenty more globally and even some Americans too considering country is a quite specific genre and Jay himself obviously did not know.

[@phila3884]

Thank you.

[@mandakay6995]

Boot Scootin' Boogie, Hard Workin' Man, Brand New Man, It's Getting Better All The Time, That Ain't No Way to Go, You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone, Red Dirt Road, Ain't Nothing 'Bout You, My Next Broken Heart, Hillbilly Deluxe, She's Not the Cheetin' Kind, Only in America, Little Miss Honky Tonk, Neon Moon, Rock My World Little Country Girl, You Can't Take The Honky Tonk Out of the Girl, I could go on and on. Brooks and Dunn have so many great songs.

[@BakerOrDie123]

Can't go wrong with Brooks and Dunn. Neon Moon is another really good song from them.

[@ap8409]

This is called TALENT Dunn was singing. Brooks always wears the cowboy hat

[@mayorstoner3459]

yeah, Neon Moon is a their biggest hit and a great song!

[@jesse7603]

"That Ain't No Way To Go", is my favorite song by them. I sing it at karaoke every chance I get.

[@cassianfalkener3706]

I haven't picked a single song as my favorite, but that one is definitely a contender.

[@michaellockhart554]

I know you've been told this but, Ronnie Dunn went to college, seminary actually, in Tulsa, he was asked to leave because he was singing in Honkytonks around the area, was discovered and introduced to Kix Brooks, the rest is history

[@DC22ROLLTIDE]

“She used to be mine” is a good one!!

[@stephensanchez3982]

"Cowgirls don't cry" is a sadder song but is one of my favorites. I saw them in Vegas and they were followed by Reba McIntyre! What a concert!

[@cassianfalkener3706]

I prefer "If You See Him/Her", but they are both really good duets with Reba. I'm also a fan of the entire Reboot album and I don't like country enough to even recognize most of the other artists' names.

[@ma1nick]

The most awarded duo in the history of country music! I remember when they exploded on the music scene in the early 90’s and took over everything. You cannot go wrong with these two. She’s not the cheatin’ kind, brand new man, neon moon, she used to be mine, etc, etc, etc

[@JaniceMagenheimer]

The next song by Brooks and Dunn should be "Neon Moon". That is Ronnie Dunn singing.

[@kathyrizzi8754]

Loved Brooks & Dunn in the 90’s were the best! Love this & many more.👍👏👏👏🎼🎵🎶♥️♥️🌹

[@robertg7396]

Ya gotta do their song "Boot scootin boogie". It's so fire, they started their own line dance craze! 🤠🕺💃

Absolutely took the words right outta my mouth. Definitely my favorite BROOKS and DUNN song and I love em all ❤

[@ronfoskey2417]

Watched Ronnie Dunn live, and he can do that all day. Effortlessly.

[@cassianfalkener3706]

I saw them in concert, and yeah, he can do that song live and hit those notes.

[@scottycas]

In my opinion he’s the Steve Perry of Country music

[@wildjohnson6370]

Neon moon is another great B&D hit you will love

[@jimmypalmer4042]

I've seen them 3 times in concert and I will just say from personal experience that Ronnie Dunn has one of the best voices of all time. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!

NEON MOON

[@theodoreritola7641]

This song sounds just like it dd in the SWEET 70s Check em out please Rob squad BY BW STEVENSON

[@marleneobstnash5517]

I saw B&D in concert in 2007 in 5th row seats. I kept my eyes on Ronnie the whole time they sang My Maria. OMG!!! He is absolutely awesome and totally amazing when he sings and holds that note!!! The whole concert was fantastic, but this song - WOW!! Love your reaction to it! ❤❤❤

This song is actually a remake. The original singer is BW Stevenson.

[@piedmontish]

And his was fabulous as well! Hopefully they’ll do it!

[@magneto7930]

His was the only version I had ever heard. Funny thing, they also reacted to that song and apparently don't remember.

BJ Wrote "Shambala" and covered by Three Dog Night. One of my faves from the 70s

[@samthompson1843]

So imo when it comes to country music I've always felt it had it's eras more so than particular years where it was on top of the charts and 90's country was on a whole other level. Brooke's and Dunn were a big contribution to that and this song is amazing

[@marioserrano6333]

Both Brooks and Dunn started out as solo artists. When they both went to audition for the record studio, the producer told them he'd sign them both if they became a duo. The rest is history

[@jeromemotter4344]

Absolute favorite from Brooks and Dunn.

[@nathanfisher1826]

[@trumax33]

Red Dirt Road....it takes me back! So great!

[@mthivier]

I always thought that B&D did a pretty solid cover of "My Maria". It was smart of them to have kept a lot of the elements of the original B.W. Stevenson version (the harmonies, the deliciously infectious arrangement, etc.), as those were the things that made the song so memorable to begin with.

[@craigcraigster4999]

As good as this remake is, I still prefer B.W.'s original from 1973.

[@raymondohlsen5054]

Here’s a fun little trivia, “My Maria” is very popular at weddings !

[@barbaracollins385]

Not a big country fan, but they blow this out of the ball park Their voices blend extremely well.

I agree with previous suggestions! Neon Moon, Boot Scoot Boogie, That Ain’t No Way to Go all great! I would add: Red Dirt Road*, That’s What It’s All About*, How Long Gone, My Next Broken Heart, Proud of the House We Built, Only in America, You Can’t Take the Honky Tonk Outta the Girl. Keep digging that Brooks and Dunn rabbit hole deeper!

[@GreyBeardIT]

How did I forget "Only in America" in my comment? Awesome suggestion!

[@someoldatheist6712]

I'm an old rocker that grew up in Alabama, so i spent my share of time in honky- tonks, pool halls, and dives. Between that and my Dad and his love of country music i can't help but love me some country along with my rock and roll. Brooks and Dunn are one of my favorites country bands of the 90s. You REALLY REALLY have to check out "Neon Moon". Studio version is a must on the first listen to the song.

[@dianenc]

One reason you might be getting so many requests for Brooks & Dunn is they're currently touring (with David Lee Murphy). Definitely check out David's "Party Crowd" & "Dust on the Bottle"!

[@hamonrye23]

Finally! My favorite country song of all time. If you want to introduce someone to country; this is the song! If someone don't like this, it's hopeless. Check out Little Miss Honky Tonk; try not to tap your toe.

Wait til you hear NEON MOON!

Brooks and Dunn has a whole catalog of great hits. You must do "If You See Her, If You See Him" with the great Reba McEntire.

[@aletendre6760]

I second this one!

[@kenqb5450]

"Neon Moon", "My Heart Is Lost To You", "Lost and Found in a Bordertown", "Cowgirls Don't Cry" w/ Reba - Warning label, and "Brand New Man". ps. The warning label originates from a Doug Stone song "Warning Labels".

[@zachg.5319]

I agree with everyone on “Neon Moon”! Such an awesome song! Another one of my personal favorites is “She’s Not the Cheatin’ Kind” if you like drawn out notes!

[@Reyne-fb7mj]

I first heard and saw Brooks and Dunn on a country music award show years ago and immediately loved them. This song is my all time favorite of theirs. Like you, I could listen to this song all day. And that high note is so beautiful. Ronnie Dunn has a gorgeous voice. I had a little crush in him for years. So sexy. I am more of a rock music fan yet their music opened doors to country music. The cinematography in this video is just so beautiful too.

Might I recommend another stupendous country duo I think you will love, Montgomery Gentry? Start with “Something to Be Proud of”, or “ Some People Change”. I really want to see how you react to their music, especially the lyrics and message of these songs. After that there are many other songs of Montgomery Gentry you’ll love!
