Ronnie Dunn Album Cover & Track List Revealed -- Exclusive

Arista Records

The Boot has your exclusive first look at the cover art and track list for Ronnie Dunn's self-titled album, which hits shelves June 7. The project is Ronnie's first solo music in 25 years and comes less than a year after his amicable split from musical partner Kix Brooks.

Ronnie wrote or co-wrote nine of the album's 12 tracks, with a who's-who list of famed co-writers including Craig Wiseman, Dallas Davidson, Terry McBride and Bobby Pinson.

'Bleed Red,' the album's first single, is already in the Top 15 on the country charts. It's one of the few on the CD that Ronnie did not have a hand in writing. "This song picked me," he tells The Boot. "I had the record, it was finished. I was good to go."

All that changed after a friend emailed the singer. "I thought I was headed to the honky-tonks and beer joints to kick out a few lights, and it drops out of the sky at the last moment," he continues. "I'm thinking, 'Just for the sake of some silly competition, I've got to beat [U2's] Bono to the punch,' because he has that big Red campaign going on. [laughs] A lot of crazy things went through my mind. But lo and behold, this is the single they picked to come out first."

Watch an exclusive video of Ronnie talking about 'Bleed Red' below.

Ronnie is currently on the road, with his next tour stop April 30 in Live Oak, Fla. Get his concert and ticket information here.

So thankful neither Ronnie nor Kix retired, so we can keep enjoying their music for years to come! Ronnie's voice is simply incomparable. Can't wait to hear the whole album.
