"Red Dirt Road" was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.

That Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have rediscovered their roots is obvious from the first chords of RED DIRT ROAD's opening track "You Can't Take the Honky Tonk Out of the Girl." It's down-home country with a little bit of rock & roll, a refreshing lack of Nashville gloss, and an exuberant chorus (one of the background vocalists is Bekka Bramlett, daughter of Delanie & Bonnie, and the album resurrects some of that duo's Southern spirit).

The title track is a classic; all the timeless country elements are here--a bit of religion, a bit of mayhem, and a hearty dose of unapologetic sentimentality, blended together with the duo's trademark harmonies and an impeccable country-rock beat. The regretful, gospel-tinged "I Used to Know This Song By Heart" tugs at the heartstrings, while "When We Were Kings" borrows from Bruce Springsteen in its conjuring of greasy, rebellious, gloriously misspent youth. A healthy lack of studio trickery and back-to-basics instrumentation highlights Brooks & Dunn's ready way with a lyric and provides an intimate backdrop to RED DIRT ROAD's classy country.

The first track of this album, "You Cant Take the Honky Tonk Out of the Girl", starts off the album with a bang. What a great song! The rest of the album proudly features Brooks & Dunns eclecticism. These guys can really put on a show too!
