| Some four years after Brooks & Dunn called it quits with 2007s Cowboy |
| Town, Ronnie Dunn headed out on his own with an eponymous solo album. |
| Dunns split with Brooks contained very little bad blood, so perhaps its |
| not surprising that Ronnie Dunn sounds quite a bit like latter-day |
| Brooks & Dunn; the only missing thing is the cowboy swagger, which is |
| swapped out for a predilection for pop. This fondness for the sweet |
| stuff is somewhat camouflaged by a production that has a pretense of |
| grit but is not adverse to running Ronnie through Auto-Tune just so |
| everything stays nice and smooth. Everything is about equilibrium: the |
| rockers never get too rowdy, the ballads are never too sappy, the |
| mariachi horns on How Far to Waco manage not to overwhelm the twang of |
| the Telecasters. This cool assurance illustrates just how much of an old |
| pro Dunn is: he never betrays his signatures, he switches things up |
| enough to stay modern, and he offers enough different sounds to appeal |
| to any audience at any time of day. What he doesnt really have is a |
| strong hook to pull listeners into the album; theres nothing surprising |
| or unexpected or exceptionally hooky, just 12 polished slices of |
| contemporary country that will surely please longtime Brooks & Dunn fans |
| largely because it doesnt feel all that different than the duo. |
