Kix Brooks, formerly of Brooks & Dunn, will release a solo album, “New To This Town,” on September 11. The 12-song collection includes nine songs co-written by Brooks, who also produced the set. The title track, which is currently at No. 32 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, was co-produced by Rascal Flatts’ Jay DeMarcus.

 

“I made an album that really is close to my heart, and it's a whole lot of fun,” says Brooks in a press release announcing the album. “For the most part, the music’s . . . kind of fun and games and hangin’ it out there and thinkin’ about getting’ back in a lot of those clubs and festivals and getting’ to play again . . . People come to enjoy themselves, and I think this album in a lot of ways is about that.”

 

Here’s the album’s full track listing: 

1. New To This Town (Featuring Joe Walsh)

2. Moonshine Road

3. Bring It On Home

4. There’s The Sun

5. Complete 360

6. My Baby

7. Tattoo

8. In The Right Place

9. Next To That Woman

10. Let’s Do This Thing

11. Closin’ Time At Home

12. She Knew I Was A Cowboy

 

Brooks will make his solo debut on the Grand Ole Opry July 10.

Good for Kix!! Its about time  :) Every song he sang on Brooks & Dunn albums sounded like good Country, while every song that Ronnie sang made me think if nails on a blackboard!! I know alot of folks liked Ronnie Dunns voice, I just never got it! It is in my mind, The worst voice in Country History!

 

Gooooo Kix!
