Brooks and Dunn announce a new collaboration project with ‘Reboot 2’

Brooks & Dunn, the best-selling duo in country music history, have announced their new collaborative album ‘Reboot 2' set for release on November 15 via Sony Music Nashville. The album serves as a follow-up to their acclaimed 2019 album ‘Reboot' and showcases an exciting lineup of today’s most engaging artists from country and beyond.

Over the past three decades, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have left an indelible mark on country music, crafting a Grammy-winning catalog that helped shape the genre. With ‘Reboot 2' the duo once again proves their influence, inviting a fresh group of artists to reimagine their classic hits in new and innovative ways. This time, they gave the featured artists complete creative freedom, letting each one choose which song they wanted to rework and adapt to their unique style.

“The premise of the project was ‘No rules,’” explains Dunn. “For this one, we purposely loosened the screws and turned ‘em loose to do whatever they wanted. We actually went way off the rails, in a good way.”

Brooks adds, “This project is a lot more out of bounds. 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.”

Far from a traditional tribute, ‘Reboot 2' showcases the enduring impact of Brooks & Dunn’s music by blending their timeless hits with fresh, eclectic styles. The artists involved were encouraged to throw out the playbook, resulting in an album that spans genres from progressive country and classic bluegrass to heavy metal and orchestral pop. This bold, boundary-pushing project celebrates the duo's lasting influence and the multi-faceted ways their music continues to resonate with today’s musicians.

Among the reinterpreted classics are fan favourites such as ‘Neon Moon' with Morgan Wallen, ‘Boot Scootin’ Boogie' with Halestorm, ‘Believe' with Jelly Roll, and ‘Play Something Country' with Lainey Wilson. Whether it’s ‘90s grunge, ‘70s rock, or swampy soul, each song has been transformed to reflect the unique artistry of its collaborators, making ‘Reboot 2' a dynamic and genre-spanning collection.
