Brooks & Dunn's If You See Her Arista/Nashville release and Reba's If You See Him MCA Nashville release both arrive at retail locations nationwide on Tuesday, June 2nd. On the heels of their current Top-5-and-climbing duet (or "tri-et" as the artists often call it), "If You See Her/If You See Him," the three will appear on the "Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on Tuesday, June 2nd, and on "Access Hollywood" on the following day, June 3rd. Having debuted a month ago on "Entertainment Tonight," the music video of "If You See Her/If You See Him" enters CMT: Country Music Television's Top 12 Countdown this week. During the week of release, Brooks & Dunn and Reba press will include Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, Country Weekly and People Magazine among others.
Reba's If You See Him is her 27th career album, but marks the first time the artist has released an Enhanced CD (ECD). The ECD features the hit duet with Brooks & Dunn, as well as "Face To Face," a new duet with Linda Davis (part two of "Does He Love You"); and two songs featured in Reba's upcoming CBS-TV movie (Fall of '98). In addition to 12 new songs, the ECD is a multimedia experience for fans when used with a computer. The ECD features an exclusive Reba Browser designed by Microsoft, which allows the user to browse the Internet, as well as a custom interface design that has web site links, wallpaper, screensavers and more.
"Duo of the Year" recipients for the past 7 consecutive years and the 2nd largest selling duo of all time in all formats (led only by Simon and Garfunkel) with over 17 million albums sold, Brooks & Dunn release their If You See Her disc with energized momentum. Instead of coasting on their triumphs, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have recorded one of their best and most fully realized records ever. The songs on If You See Her (four of which Kix and Ronnie had a hand in co-writing) run the gamut from soulful ballads (like "I Can't Get Over You," penned by Ronnie Dunn and frequent co-writing partner Terry McBride) to hardcore honky-tonk (their stirring reprise of the Gary Stewart classic, "Brand New Whiskey"). Each and every cut offers fresh perspectives on Kix's and Ronnie's gifts as singers, writers and collaborators.
Brooks and Dunn and Reba have both received "Entertainer of the Year" honors from both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music. There co-headline tour was the largest grossing country tour of all time last year; and, the tour continues in mid-July.
