"Well, my album," ponders Reba, "reminds me a lot of my 1990 album, Rumor Has It, in the way that because I broke my leg I had more time to slow down. I was forced to slow down and really took more time to listen to songs, dive into the music and concentrate and focus. The only two times that has ever happened in my life the product just came out flying! It's great material and the songwriters have really outdone themselves on this album. I'm very proud of it. It's a combination of very contemporary things to very traditional country. The things that I'm getting to sing now are what I grew up singing. So I'm really excited to be able to let everybody hear it."   Listen to Forever Love

Being the part-time comedians they are, Brooks and Dunn's analysis of their new album was not so
elaborate. "We just basically threw ours together the way we always do," laughs Kix.  "It's a train wreck from Texas     -- you gotta get it!"

"We just dropped our guard a little more this time around," Ronnie explains seriously. "We just kind of said, 'Okay, let's make a record that feels good to us and not worry too much about other people's expectations.'  Kix and I really gave each other room to stretch. The two of us are just very different musically, in terms of what we like to hear and write. We accept that. We basically meet in the middle. There's never been a rift, and it keeps things fresh."

"Ronnie and I never lose sight of the fact that everything revolves around the music -- we talk about that all the time," Kix explains. "I know by looking at us it's hard to tell sometimes, because we're into everything from race cars to hot air balloons, to Corn flakes, to T-shirts and all this other stuff we've got goin' on. But none of this is gonna be there for ten minutes if we don't deliver with our music."
