In a candid interview, Ronnie Dunn of Brooks & Dunn shared a memorable moment from their early years that highlighted the intensity of their partnership. He recounted an incident where, feeling frustrated with Kix Brooks, he grabbed Kix’s iconic cowboy hat and threw it off the stage during a performance. This act of defiance was a rare glimpse into the tensions that can arise even among close collaborators.
Despite such moments, their bond remained strong, and they continued to create some of country music’s most enduring hits. Their ability to navigate personal differences and maintain a successful partnership is a testament to their professionalism and shared passion for music.
