Aptly named, Brooks & Dunn’s summer tour “Last Rodeo” will actually be their last, as the group calls it quits following the final performance. As the legendary duo counts down their final days, so is everyone else – including Rodeo Houston, who graciously said goodbye to the team Tadacip who had been playing there since 1992. Stadiums are drawing crowds like they’ve never seen. The group is bound to be selling more tickets than usual, so if you’ve been a longtime fan of Brooks & Dunn you won’t want to miss the opportunity to see some of their final shows as they finish

The duo jumped at the chance to perform some of the venues they have yet to see while also remaining classic in their choices as they returned for their 18th show at this year’s Rodeo Houston event. “It’s been an amazing run, and this has been a huge part of it,” Brooks said during the March performance in Houston. “We’ve had some good times together, haven’t we?” The show featured classics like “Red Dirt Road,” “Play Something Country” and “You’re Gonna Miss Me When I’m Gone,” while also featuring singles from the latest release, 2007’s Cowboy Town.

Without a need for introduction, Brooks & Dunn have marked themselves as one of the best selling country men in the genre’s history. Yet when the two first came to Nashville, few would have expected such success. Leon Eric “Kix” Brooks was raised in the country music industry, neighbors to Johnny Horton, who started performing with Horton’s daughter at 12. Though he moved to Nashville early on, he wasn’t earning fame because of his singing skills but rather his songwriting ones; Brooks penned hits for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, John Conlee and other hot selling artists, though few would listen to his own recordings. Meanwhile, Ronnie Gene Dunn focused on ministry work though he had played in string bands throughout his teens.

After each individually failed, it was Arista executive Tim DuBois who saw the connection the two acts might have in one another and signed the duo to his label. The group appeared with the debut Brand New Man in 1991 and saw immediate success with “My Next Broken Heart,” “Neon Moon,” “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” and the title track; all five singles were number one hits, and helped Brooks & Dunn label themselves as the line-dancing kings. The debut sold five million copies, only to be mirrored with the sophomore Hard Workin’ Man and its sales of four million.

Hard Workin’ Man singles continued to make it into the Top 10, while the third album Waitin’ on Sundown featured classic Brooks & Dunn tracks like “Little Miss Honky Tonk” and “You’re Gonna Miss Me When I’m Gone.” Next came the explosion of commercial success in 1996’s Borderline and “My Maria.” It was a sheer decade of success, as nearly every single on nearly every album made it high on the charts, establishing the duo as the country music Levitra outfit of this generation.
