Background
"I knew we were going to call this album Red Dirt Road before the first song was even picked," Said Ronnie Dunn. "I wanted that thread, that growing up in rural America and all the universal touchstones we all go through -- that first beer, wrecking my first car two weeks after I got it, being taken to a revival by my cousins who lived a few miles farther down that road. That road ran through every major event in my young life… and who would think a kid growing up like that, going to Bible college, would end up here? But that's the power of life and roots and dreams -- it can."
