Introduction
“Boots & Diamonds” is a track by celebrated country artist Ronnie Dunn, co-written by Dunn himself along with Lynn Hutton, Clint Daniels, and Don Cook . It appears as a bonus track on the iTunes Deluxe Edition of his self-titled debut solo album, Ronnie Dunn, released on June 7, 2011 under Arista Nashville . The album itself marked Dunn’s first full solo effort following his split from the legendary duo Brooks & Dunn, ending nearly 25 years of partnership in 2010 .
While not included in the standard edition, “Boots & Diamonds” enriches the expanded version with its evocative imagery of Honky-tonk life. The lyrics paint a vivid scene—honky-tonks in Austin with cowgirls, a jukebox that keeps the singer crying, and a setting full of nostalgia and lonely longing . Musically and thematically, it aligns with Dunn’s signature blend of heartfelt storytelling and traditional country ethos.
Though it wasn’t released as a single and did not chart, the song remains a heartfelt gem that captures the essence of classic country—and provides fans a deeper look into Dunn’s solo artistry in a transitional, richly introspective period of his career.
