Ronnie Dunn

By the slimmest of margins, Ronnie Dunn's new song 'Let the Cowboy Rock' squeaked by Sugarland's 'Run' last week. Barely a percentage point separated the two songs, but in this "winner take all" system only Dunn will advance to face a new challenger. His latest single is halfway to being enshrined in the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame.

Ronnie Dunn eked by Gloriana last week. His new song 'Let the Cowboy Rock' was chosen over the new country trio's '(Kissed You) Good Night,' meaning it will move on to face a new Taste of Country Showdown challenger this week. The road ahead only promises to get more difficult for Dunn, with a number of superstars planning releases in February.

Congratulations to Lauren Alaina! Her new song 'Georgia Peaches' is a Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame inductee after winning for four straight weeks. The 17-year-old's hit knocked off 'Even if It Breaks Your Heart by Eli Young Band last week, after toppling songs by Keith Urban, Alan Jackson and Lee Brice in previous weeks.

The lyrics to Ronnie Dunn's next single, 'Let the Cowboy Rock,' show the rock side of the now solo artist, who spent the past 20 years of his career as one half of duo Brooks and Dunn. The tune was penned by Dunn, along with hit songwriter Dallas Davidson of the Peach Pickers.

Ronnie Dunn changes tempo with the third single from his self-titled solo album. 'Let the Cowboy Rock' is reminiscent of Brooks and Dunn hits like 'Play Something Country' and 'You Can't Take the Honky Tonk Out of the Girl.' In fact, there's little that distinguishes this song from one the duo would have recorded five years ago.

In a time of economic grief, Ronnie Dunn's hit 'Cost of Livin'' resonates with many people -- not just country music fans. That's why the song has been picked up as the central theme of two upcoming TV episodes of 'The Doctors' and 'Dr. Phil.'

We know what Ronnie Dunn is thankful for at Thanksgiving 2011: the news that he's expecting his first grandchild! Dunn told Kickin' Country 100.5, albeit offhandedly, that he's awaiting the arrival of a new family member and that he already knows it's a boy.
