One of the most successful partnerships of all time in country music, Brooks & Dunn, at right, say they're calling it quits -- but not before a "Final Rodeo." That's what the veteran twangers are calling their purported farewell tour, which will land May 14 at St. Paul's Xcel Energy Center. Tickets ($65-$25) go on sale March 6. "She's Country" and "The Truth" hit-maker Jason Aldean will open. In their two decades together, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have amassed 23 No. 1 country singles and sold more than 15 million albums, plus by default they win the vocal duo trophy at the Country Music Awards nearly every year. Their last all-new album was 2007's "Cowboy Town." CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER
