Tight Rope (album)

Tight Rope is the sixth studio album by American country music duo Brooks & Dunn, released in 1999 on Arista Nashville. Their least successful album commercially, it was the first album of their career not to receive platinum certification from the RIAA; furthermore, only one of its three singles reached the top ten on the country charts. The album's lead single was a cover of John Waite's 1984 number-one pop hit "Missing You". This cover peaked at No. 15 on the Hot Country Songs chart. Following it were "Beer Thirty" (No. 19) and "You'll Always Be Loved by Me" (No. 5). "Goin' Under Gettin' Over You" reached No. 60 from unsolicited play as an album cut.
