Sept. 5, 2005 — -- Country stars Brooks & Dunn performed in Bryant Park for "Good Morning America" and expressed their support for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

"It has been particularly heart-wrenching for me, being a Louisiana native," said Kix Brooks, who is from Shreveport. "I know for all Americans to see this and other Americans suffering, everybody wants to step up and do what they can."

The Grammy-winning artists performed their hit "You Can't Take the Honky Tonk Out of the Girl," which Ronnie Dunn said he hoped "can at least draw some attention to the fact the devastation down there warranted a tremendous amount of help and outcry."

Brooks & Dunn urged people to "kick in and donate what they can" to help the hurricane victims.

Brooks & Dunn released their ninth studio album, "Hillbilly Deluxe," Aug. 30. They've had 22 No. 1 hits, and they currently are touring the country.
