If You See Her

If You See Her is the fifth studio album by American country music duo Brooks & Dunn, released in 1998 on Arista Nashville. The album featured five chart singles: "If You See Him/If You See Her", "How Long Gone", and "Husbands and Wives" (a cover of a Roger Miller song), all of which reached #1, plus "I Can't Get Over You" (which made #5) and "South of Santa Fe" (which stalled at #41). This last song was the first (and only) single of Brooks & Dunn's career to miss Top 40 entirely, and was the last single to feature Kix Brooks on lead vocals instead of Ronnie Dunn. The album is a counterpart to Reba McEntire's album If You See Him (released on the same day), which shared the track "If You See Him/If You See Her". A bonus limited edition EP was made available when consumers bought both If You See Him and If You See Her at the same time.

"Born and Raised in Black in White" is a cover of The Highwaymen (aka Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash & Kris Kristofferson) song off their 1990 album, Highwayman 2. "Brand New Whiskey" was previously recorded by Gary Stewart (one of its writers) on his 1988 album Brand New.
