WAY BACK WEDNESDAY: "MY NEXT BROKEN HEART" - BROOKS AND DUNN

This “Way Back When Wednesday” we’re reaching back to the beginning of the 90’s.  A new era of music was flourishing and in the eye of the storm was Brooks and Dunn. Their first album “Brand New Man” was released in 1991 and contained many of their biggest hits.  From “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” to “Neon Moon” to “Lost and Found” their debut album was unprecedented with its then-popularity and now-longevity.  A quarter of a century ago and so many of this album’s songs are still among the most well-known in country music.

The song we’re focusing on today off of the “Brand New Man” album is “My Next Broken Heart.”, one of their greatest songs in popularity, longevity and songwriting, as well as one of my personal favorites. “My Next Broken Heart” was written by Don Cook, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn.  Don Cook is a record producer, turned songwriter (when he co-wrote this song), turned big-wig of many titles at Sony/ATV Tree Music Publishing turned songwriter again.

Kix and Ronnie are sadly no longer together but their music will live on agelessly.

KIX BROOKS AND RANDY HOUSER DEBUT COLLABORATIVE VIDEO FOR "AMBUSH AT DARK CANYON"

Hey cowboy! There's a new vocal collaboration in town from Kix Brooks and Randy Houser. The song, "High in the Saddle (Can't Kill a Memory)", is featured in the new movie, "Ambush at Dark Canyon".

Showcasing a combination of footage from the movie and in-studio moments, the video made it's debut today on CMT. The song is a stand out on the movie's soundtrack.

Kix plays the lead role in the film, giving fans a glimpse into his acting ability. In an interview with Billboard, Brooks stated that westerns have always held an intense connection with country music. “I think a lot of us grew up being fans of westerns and those old TV shows,” he explains. “It’s the cowboy hat, jeans and boots, and it goes along with our music. It’s that simple and honest mentality. Most westerns are basically good vs. evil, and people like watching westerns because they know that in the end, the good guy is going to get the best of them.”

 You can pick up the movie, "Ambush at Dark Canyon" and it's soundtrack at Walmart, online at Walmart.com or at any Sam's Club location.
