Kix Brooks

Kix Brooks is transitioning into the television industry with a new show on the Food Network.

'Duck Dynasty's' Uncle Si Robertson has a new talent he's showing off, and it has nothing to do with duck calls or hunting. The 66-year-old released a six-song EP, 'Me and My Smoking Hot Honey' on iTunes Wednesday (May 14), and it features a duet with none other than country singer Kix Brooks.

Jake Owen got a digital "talking to" from Barbara Brooks, the wife of country legend Kix Brooks, after he tweeted a picture of himself wearing a bit of a sarcastically sexist T-shirt that read: "Cool Story Babe. Now Go Make Me a Sandwich."

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,

Kix Brooks has a life most only dream about, but in his 'Bring It on Home' video, he shows that even the fame, music and traveling can't quite satisfy the need for someone to share it with.

High Valley fans are proving to be some of the most tenacious in country music. The trio's following has moved their new love song 'Love You for a Long Time' to a third straight round of Showdown voting. After topping hits from Little Big Town and Clay Walker, they'll be up against another modern legend on Thursday and Thursday night on Taste of Country Nights radio.

Kix Brooks is a man of many interests, and a man with an interesting background. Prior to joining Ronnie Dunn to form one of country music's all-time greatest duos, the singer fronted a rowdy group of country rock n' rollers and released a solo album. It turns out, the rowdy, brawling sound one hears on 'New to This Town' is closer to Brooks' true character -- especially his youthful character --

Kix Brooks have may performed 'New to This Town' during tonight's 'CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock,' but it's clear that the former Brooks & Dunn member is far from a novice when it comes to entertaining a Music City crowd.

There's a new Showdown champion. Gary Allan's fans united and took his new single 'Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)' to the next round with heavy online voting and phone input at Taste of Country Nights. 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.'
