Kix Brooks

Blake Shelton, Kellie Pickler and Kix Brooks already have gigs beyond being country singers, with Shelton coaching on 'The Voice,' Pickler winning 'Dancing With the Stars' and Brooks hosting his radio countdown show. But soon, the singers will have new additions to their respective resumes, as they've all landed guest voice roles on the new animated CMT series 'Bounty Hunters' (which, by the way,

The hopeful ballad doubled up 'Don't Ya' by Brett Eldredge on Friday night. Today, Allan will face a country legend.

If nothing else, the 12 songs on 'New to This Town' -- the first solo album from Kix Brooks in 23 years -- serve as reminder that we really don't know the mustachioed half of Brooks and Dunn very well. The project is is downright rowdy, and Brooks is a more colorful singer than he showed on songs like 'Lost and Found.'
