SINGLE: Brooks & Dunn - "Put A Girl In It"
You know, for a country summer, there's nothing like a rocker. And that's what Brooks & Dunn offers for their new single. I have no doubt that this tune will be jamming in several pickups over the summer of love, 2008.
But I have to tell you - I'm not a big fan of "Put A Girl In It." And I have to say it's particularly because of the message. I'm not a feminist at all, but I just feel this song is degrading to the female fan. I mean tell me what you think of this lyric: " If you're ridin in your truck/Put a girl in it/If you're gonna have a party/Put a girl in it." I just don't get it.
This song is also, again, 98% Ronnie and 2% Kix. So, once again, we are Some Brooks but Mostly Dunn. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I thought this was a duo..
I know this jammer won't be jamming in my truck or on my iPod any time soon. It's a big miss for Brooks & Dunn in my books. And a shame too - after all the singles from Hillbilly Deluxe, I was really excited about Cowboy Town. Instead, we got cheesy, non-creative fluff.
GRADE: D
HIT or MISS: Big miss. What happened to Brooks & Dunn's jazz?

From this females perspective I LOVE IT. It's just a fun, rollicking, roll-down your car windows, not to be taken too seriously song!!!
The message I took away from the song is that having a significant other in your life is more important and can bring you much much more happiness than all of the material things. Material things can still leave you empty; having someone to share times/things with can make things so so so much better.
I related it to having my man with me. It's just not the same when he's not there to share things.
I give it an A
