July 3, 2007 — Brooks & Dunn's current tour with Alan Jackson is about as laid-back as a tour can be. The guys tell Dial-Global that preparing for their nightly concerts has been low-key all the way, since all three guys are pretty easy-going.

However, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn recall that things were not quite so simple when they were touring with Reba McEntire. "She'd rehearse for four weeks," Kix says. "She had yellow dots here, red dots here, blue dots here and green dots there. We'd walk in there for ten minutes and try and get a set list together and go, 'That looks pretty good' and she'd go, 'Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait?' "

Kix says Alan "kind of has our schooling, you know? We stumble around out there and figure it out as the tour goes on."

"It's not planned," Ronnie explains. "It's real loose. Every night he'll walk in and go, 'Y'all gonna do an encore?'"
