Brooks & Dunn’s Favorite "Cowgirl"

March 11, 2009 — Brooks & Dunn already had a hit on their hands when they enlisted Reba McEntire to add her voice to "Cowgirls Don't Cry," and they introduced the collaboration in November during the Country Music Association awards.

There've been instances in history where a musical hook-up represented the first time two artists met, but this was not one of them. In fact, working with Reba has a ring of familiarity for Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn.

"We toured together for years early on," Ronnie told the national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville. "She was the first major tour that gave us a break and took us out, exposed us to big rooms, big arenas, big crowds. Man, and then over the years, we just developed a friendship. She and [husband-manager] Narvel [Blackstock] are Okies, and it's just kind of like getting in the room with friends. There's not that cold star thing that goes down sometimes."

"Cowgirls Don't Cry" stands at No. 3 on the USA Today Mediabase country singles chart. In addition, it's in the running for Vocal Event of the Year at the "44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards". Reba will host that ceremony for the 11th time in her career from Las Vegas on April 5.
