The Brooks and Dunn Tribute special has been taped and Keith Urban as friend and past tourmate of course performed. He chose "Brand New Man", a fan favorite on the road, and his performance we hear is, as usual, top notch. We can't wait to see the boys honored. In the meantime here's some fantastic pictures to tide us over.
