“How Long Gone” became Brooks & Dunn’s 13th number one US country hit on the Billboard Charts back in 1998. It was their second single off of their ‘98 If You See Heralbum. It followed their smash hit “If You See Him, If You See Her” which featured Reba. The music video was directed by Steven Goldmann. “How Long Gone” can be found on their second greatest hits album.

While it may be winging it a little to call this a flashback, but it’s a little hard to believe that 2006 is slowly becoming more retro as we quickly head into the 2010’s.
Back in mid-2006 Toby had a hit with “A Little Too Late” off his White Trash with Money album. The song is about a man addressing his former girlfriend that the couple is through. While the plot has been donemany times before, Toby offers another good piece of music that reminisces on his great 90’s and early 2000’s work. It’s hard to think that he can have a great song like this and then go on to make something as outrageous as his recent single “American Ride”! But I guess you just have to take the good with the bad.
“A Little Too Late” went on to reach #2 in August 2006. The music video is also another treat, the plot is a little grim, that is until the ending offers a pretty good plot twist.
This is a new feature on the blog where I’ll feature a certain singer and you can comment on what song you most remember/associate them by. To clarify, it doesn’t have to be the singer’s best song or biggest hit sales wise, but the song that you have remembered them by for the majority of you life. For this edition the singer is George Strait. King George has had hits that have spawned almost 30 decades now and for many I’m sure it’s hard to figure out which song they most remember him by.
