Gone but not forgotten: new music from Brooks and Dunn.
I know that I referenced this before (pre-blog, though, so I can't search for it so easily), but now that Brooks and Dunn are Brooks and "Done", I watched their tribute special last night [because I always felt found (there were purgatorial aspects to Lost after all -- didn't they deny that as an answer?) and because the Celebrity Apprentice finale is on my DVR for watching tonight (go Bret Michaels, but don't tax yourself too much that you end up hospitalized -- oops, too late)] and remembered how much I was affected by some of their songs.
I didn't necessarily boot-scoot-boogie, but I sure did feel the pain behind the lyrics of "It's Getting Better all the Time" or get a little misty eyed hearing "Believe" (and J Hud only made it more memorable last night). Even those Lostians would have to appreciate these lines about finding faith: "I raise my hands, bow my head ... I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red ... They tell me that there's more to life than just what i can see ... Oh I believe".
The most successful duo from any genre, having sold more albums than all others in the Nielsen/SoundScan era, you will be missed.
