Ronnie Dunn ReviewPrime Cuts: I Don't Dance, Bleed Red, Love Owes Me One
After country duo Brooks and Dunn called it a day, Ronnie Dunn proved that he's not done yet with the release of his self-titled disc just a year or so after their split. Indeed this eponymous release is one of the most anticipated releases of the year. And safe to say this album doesn't disappoint. While the latter Brooks and Dunn releases were a hits and misses, "Ronnie Dunn" is consistently stellar with melodic romps that revved up his redneck credentials as well as power ballads that driver emotions on roller coasters of heartbreak, love and hope. Like his input from his Brook and Dunn days, Dunn has again co-written 9 out of the 12 cuts here with long time cohorts such as Terry McBride, Craig Wiseman and current top Nashville scribe Dallas Davidson. Most winsome is still Dunn's gorgeous vocals--even at the ripe old age of 57, he still possess the tenacity to hold on to notes with aplomb. And the way his voice nuances so much emotions especially on the ballads is something an artist half his age could only dream of doing.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the power ballads here are to die for. Lead single "Bleed Red" is more than a song. It is an epic monster of a power ballad that finds Dunn soaring to heavenly heights and bursting with conciliatory sentimental. This is heavenly stuff as Dunn sings about empathy, forgiveness and reconciliation in a world toxic with divisiveness and prejudice. Aptly clad with some stark guitar licks, the scantily adorned "Cost of Living" finds Dunn on his prophetic soapbox delivering a moving homily of how many have been plagued by the downward spiral of the economy. Dunn's measured and understated delivery here is mesmerizing. Recapturing the magical moments of some of Brooks and Dunn's finest ballads such as "You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone" and "It's Getting Better All the Time," "I Don't Dance" looks like its two stepping into such lofty status. Sung with palpable conviction over a strongly knitted tune "I Don't Dance," an ode to marital faithfulness, is romance in its purest sonic form.
"Love Owes Me One," on the other hand, calls to mind Brooks and Dunn's signature hit "Believe." Brimming with a spiritual undertone and featuring some flourishes of church-like organ, "Love Owes Me One" easily ropes you in to its uplifting message. "Last Love I'm Tryin'" is one of the two songs Dunn wrote single handedly. Though "Last Love" bears some resemblance to "I Don't Dance," it boasts one of Dunn's most passionate performances on disc. As far as the uptempoes are concerned, "How Far to Waco" with its Mexican feel finds Dunn in his wild and wooly spirit. While album opener "Singer in a Cowboy Band," a slick swaggering gonzo strutting piece is actually an apologetic by Dunn reasoning why he is doing what he's doing. Despite its title, "Let the Cowboy Rock," there is nothing Western about it at all. It is a dint of funk that is designed more for the sports bar than the honky tonks.
Without the contribution of Kix Brooks, gone are the more left-of-center quirky narrative numbers such as "Her West was Wilder" or "Texas and Norma Jean." Rather, "Ronnie Dunn" is a focused record calculated towards radio success. And with songs of such top calibre, this album will have legs to stand on the charts for months and months to come. And the slew of hit singles will be copious. This is a tight, well-crafted effort that will push Dunn to continue or even excel the success he has had with Brooks.
