Brooks & Dunn’s Thoughts On Country’s New Directions

Brooks & Dunn were recently asked what they thought of Jelly Roll, and others, coming in and taking country music in new directions.

And both of them kept it pretty real.  Ronnie Dunn said,

“Everybody out there has an opinion.  I don’t see the negative dynamic to it . . . there’s rock music out there, and different slants on what country should be.  Let it eat.  It’s all going to come back.”

And Kix Brooks added,

“Fans change because fans get older and new fans come in.  [Like] artists today that may have their start on TikTok or whatever.  It’s like, ‘Stop throwing rocks.  We have millions of fans out there.  Let them decide.'”

This is when Ronnie jumped back in and agreed with his partner.

“Let the marketplace decide.”

So, it’s pretty simple . . . If the country world likes it and listens to it, then it’s country.
