1/2 of Brooks and Dunn is working on a solo album

Ronnie Dunn is working on a solo album that may be out early next year. Dunn's manager, Clarence Spalding, confirms that the album will be on Arista Nashville, Brooks & Dunn's longtime label, which is a division of Sony. "He's recording two or three things," Spalding tells CMT.com. "He's mixing them and playing them for people. He's making the determination of when he's ready to go." Dunn has recorded a solo track for Country Strong, the upcoming film starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw.
