- Covered Up: This has gone both ways.
- Before Brooks & Dunn was founded, both men were solo singers. Kix barely charted with a song called "Sacred Ground," which would later be a #2 hit for McBride & the Ride (it got blocked from #1 by "Achy Breaky Heart"). Incidentally, McBride & the Ride's lead singer and bassist, Terry McBride, would later co-write several of Brooks & Dunn's songs and play bass in their road band.
- "Boot Scootin' Boogie" was first recorded by Asleep at the Wheel.
- Their version of "My Maria" is far better known than the B.W. Stevenson original.
- Same with their version of "Husbands and Wives" vs. Roger Miller's original.
- ...and, at least stateside, their 2001 version of "The Long Goodbye" vs. Paul Brady's original or Ronan Keating's subsequent cover (Brady and Keating wrote the song).
- "Every River" was previously recorded by Kim Richey. Zig-zagged in that Kim sang backing vocals on Brooks & Dunn's version.
- "Building Bridges" had been released by its co-writer, Larry Willoughby (Rodney Crowell's cousin), and later by Nicolette Larson. Neither version cracked the 40, while Brooks & Dunn's was a Top 5 hit.
