Nashville, TN (Top40 Charts/ Ronnie Dunn Official Website) "Debut Album" is such a strange concept when you consider the many accomplishments of Ronnie Dunn's musical career; but here we are. And 'here' is a good place to be! After this line there will be no mention of the Duo known as Brooks and Dunn in this article - no comparisons. This is a debut album by a new artist, and that's how it will be reviewed. Now, I have to admit I almost tossed this album aside a minute into track one. "Singer in a Cowboy Band" is an unoriginal, boring tune that twice led me to turn off the radio in my car where I was planning to listen to the album. But this morning I loaded it into iTunes and started with track two.. and that was a better place to begin! Each track offers a unique sound as Ronnie strives to find his place as a solo artist, but that doesn't mean a "see what sticks" approach to the music. Each is a artistically crafted masterpiece that showcases one of Nashville's best voices. Among my Favorites: Cost of Livin' - A perfect song for today's high gas prices and tight job market. A classic song for the working man or woman. Last Love I'm Tryin' - Penned by Ronnie - a song about giving love everything and making it last. I Just get Lonely - Another Ronnie Dunn original, a tender ballad sure to make his female fans swoon. Eleven great tracks... and the first one... each fresh and unique. I have high hopes for this newcomer who seems oh so familiar. Buy The Album: https://www.amazon.com/A/dp/B004T4YA8G Online: https://www.ronniedunn.com/
