After shaping country music for more than three decades, Brooks & Dunn — consisting of Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn — is ready to re-write history with their forthcoming collaborative album, REBOOT II, available November 15 via Sony Music Nashville.
The best-selling duo of all time took to social media today to share the news. “NEW ALBUM ANNOUNCE 🚨 REBOOT II… Only once in a bright blue moon do things this wildly unexpected happen. 18 Brooks & Dunn songs + 18 artists come together to reinvent time-tested classics. You are not going to believe where this genre-bending journey is about to take you. REBOOT II comin’ atcha November 15th! Pre-order now + reserve your autographed copy at link in bio,” Brooks & Dunn wrote via Instagram, and fans caused an uproar of excitement in the comment section:
“Gonna be one hell of an album!!”
“YES!!!!! I cannot tell you how much I love these!!!”
“Ohhhh this is gonna be so good.”
For those who are unfamiliar, REBOOT II is the sequel to the pair’s 2019 album, REBOOT, following the same format as before. Said format brings a group of oh-so engaging artists on board to choose which classic Brooks & Dunn tune that they would like to be a part of, re-imagining the song to fit their own style from start to finish.
REBOOT II will feature songs like “Neon Moon,” “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” “Play Something Country” and more, featuring contributions from Lainey Wilson, Morgan Wallen, Marcus King Band, Megan Moroney, Warren Zeiders, Jelly Roll, Riley Green, The Cadillac Three, Halestorm, Mitchell Tenpenny, The Earls of Leicester, Jake Worthington, Hailey Whitters, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, HARDY, ERNEST, A Thousand Horses and Corey Kent.
“The premise of the project was ‘No rules.’ For this one, we purposely loosened the screws and turned ‘em loose to do whatever they wanted,” Dunn shared about the album in a statement. “We actually went way off the rails, in a good way.”
“This project is a lot more out of bounds,” 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 and blues bands and all kinds of genres, all over the place.”
With a fresh take on some beloved Brooks & Dunn hits, REBOOT II is certain to knock our socks off upon its release. Until then, country music lovers may pre-save the project HERE.
