BUILDING BRIDGES - BROOKS & DUNN
Penned by Hank DeVito and Larry Willoughby, the gorgeous “Building Bridges” has long been one of Music Row’s underrated treasures. Kudos to Brooks & Dunn for bringing this little gem back to the spotlight. It’s a classic lyric about mending a broken relationship, and Ronnie Dunn’s lead vocal is as compelling as always. This man could sing the phone book and people would hear angst, regret and redemption and be just as moved. To put icing on the cake, Sheryl Crow and Vince Gill add vocals, making this one delicious single. The melody swirls, those distinctive voices dive in, and it’s obvious you’re listening to today’s Nashville Sound at its best. A hit? Yes. A smash? Unmistakably.
