The Adventures of Slim and Howdy
by Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn
Bill Fitzhugh, collaborator
The alter egos of country music stars Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn are brought to life with the help of author Bill
Fitzhugh. The result is an entertaining look at how modern cowboys Slim and Howdy navigate their way through life
while in search of stardom and adventure. They seem to have a string of bad luck with everyone, from a card shark
to a couple of thieves, to falling for the likes of some pretty women who are just begging for trouble. A side stop
into a hometown bar brings a kidnapping, unexpected danger, and a long ride into the desert and a new forged
friendship that was obviously meant to be.
It’s fun to think of Slim and Howdy as the other personalities of "Brooks and Dunn." A witty cowboy tale that is
comical as well from start to finish. Lots of song references that any fan of "Brooks and Dunn" would immediately
recognize, such as the first page when they mention a "Red Dirt Road." You can glimpse the world where Slim and
Howdy create the life that then became "Brooks and Dunn" songs. |
