A Look Back at Legends
Brooks & Dunn have been rewriting the rulebook since they burst onto the scene in the '90s and their sound struck a chord with country fans and beyond, giving us some of the most unforgettable tunes in country music history. And let’s not forget, these guys wrote most of those chart-topping songs themselves! From "Neon Moon" to "Boot Scootin’ Boogie," their catalog is the soundtrack of honky-tonk history.
But even after reshaping the genre, they’re still as restless as ever. Cue REBOOT 2, the highly anticipated follow-up to their 2019 REBOOT album.
What’s the Deal with REBOOT 2?
Here’s the scoop: just like its predecessor, REBOOT 2 takes Brooks & Dunn’s biggest hits and hands them over to some of today’s hottest stars—giving them the freedom to flip, twist, and transform the tracks into something entirely fresh. Think of it as the ultimate genre-blending jam session! But this time, the duo took things even further, inviting artists not only from country but also from the realms of rock, blues, and beyond to join the fun.
As Ronnie Dunn put it in a press statement: "The premise of the project was ‘No rules.' We actually went way off the rails, in a good way.” And Kix Brooks added, “Artists were going, ‘Would it be okay if we did this?’ It was like, ‘Yeah! Let’s do it.’ We dealt with rock bands, blues bands, all kinds of genres.”
Who’s on the Tracklist?
The star-studded lineup is a country fan’s dream. You’ve got chart-toppers like Lainey Wilson and Morgan Wallen, country rebels like HARDY and Jelly Roll, and even rockers like Halestorm. Each artist was given complete creative freedom to reimagine their chosen Brooks & Dunn track, and the results? Well, let’s just say you’re in for a wild ride.
