Even though lead vocals on most Brooks & Dunn hit songs were sung by Ronnie Dunn, also Kix Brooks made a huge mark in the history of country music with classic tunes like "Lost And Found", "Rock My World (Little Country Girl)", You're Gonna Miss Me (When I'm Gone)" and "Mama Don't Get Dressed Up For Nothing". After Kix and Ronnie parted ways to pursue solo carreers in 2010, Ronnie Dunn released a spectacular self-titled debut album in June 2011 and Kix plans to hit it off this year. His first single is a song called "New to This Town", which features a superstar guest Joe Walsh of the Eagles. The song is climbing up the charts and earlier this week Kix released an official music video.
