The 5 Best Brooks & Dunn Covers on YouTube

JJ Thomas — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 16:37:11 +0000

Country singer Ronnie Dunn - one half of superduo Brooks & Dunn - talked with Taste of Country a bit last week about musicians that influenced him. Among Dunn's more interesting recent influences: "I love Harrison’s slide guitar on 'Something,'" the singer told Taste of Country.

Dunn has of course been impactful in his own wide-ranging way, and the wild diversity of Brooks & Dunn covers on YouTube are a pretty-great sample of his influence. Among the YouTube treasures we unearthed: a rocker girl singing a heartfelt cover of B&D's 'If You See Her, If You See Him'; a ukelele-toting troubadour singing his dog to sleep with 'Neon Moon'; and a near-perfect bedroom rendition of 'My Maria.' Check 'em out and more below, and don't forget to sign up to see and meet Ronnie Dunn in Yakima, WA on July 21!
