Brooks & Dunn are set to play two Texas rodeos and several casino shows in early 2005 as the country duo continues to back its new best-of set.

Stops on several summer country-music festivals are also on the group's schedule for the upcoming year; details are in the itinerary below.
Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn dropped their latest album, "Greatest Hits II," in October. The collection includes 14 of the pair's well-worn tracks, along with three new songs.

Earlier this year, Brooks & Dunn won their 12th CMA Award for Vocal Duo of the Year (and their 14th CMA overall); took their fourth American Music Award for Favorite Country Band, Duo or Group; and claimed the ACM Award for Top Vocal Duo.

The pair has a chance to add to their bulging trophy case early next year; they're nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for their song "You Can't Take the Honky Tonk Out of the Girl."
