"Brand New Man" is a debut song recorded by American country music duo Brooks & Dunn, written by Kix Brooks, Ronnie Dunn and Don Cook. It was released in June 1991 as their debut single, and was served as the first single and title track from their debut album of the same name, and their first Number One single on the country charts [1], thus making them only the second country music band in history to have its debut single reach Number One on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart (behind Diamond Rio's "Meet in the Middle" from four months earlier).
