Once artists like Brooks & Dunn hit the Country Music Hall of Fame, folks didn’t expect much in the way of new ideas. Thirty-plus years into their career, Brooks & Dunn long ago dialed in their generation-defining sound and style. The best-selling duo of all time, their yin-and-yang, country-rock blend has earned them 20 Number Ones – plenty of material to fill stadium-rocking set lists. And with a Grammy-winning, course-of-history shifting catalog written mostly themselves, they could rest easy knowing without doubt they left a permanent mark on the American songbook.
But Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have always been the restless type. Released November 15, 2024, their latest album “Reboot II” is the sequel to their acclaimed 2019 album “Reboot” and follows the same format of giving today’s most engaging artists, in and out of country music, the near-impossible task of reimagining an iconic Brooks & Dunn song; except this time, the artists were given maximum creative freedom.
With styles ranging from progressive country and classic bluegrass to heavy metal, orchestral pop, and beyond, the very fabric of songs most country fans know by heart has been transformed. Whether it was ‘90s grunge, ‘70s style studio rock, or swampy soul, the duo encouraged each artist to throw out the playbook.
The new album’s 18 tracks include reinterpreted hits such as “Neon Moon,” “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” and “Believe,” resulting in a dynamic and eclectic collection that spans genres and generations.
Brooks & Dunn continue to break records, tallying the longest-running country music residency in Las Vegas, and crisscrossing North America year after year on their sold-out tours. They recently announced 2025 dates for the first leg of their “Neon Moon” tour. For a full list of upcoming tour dates and to purchase tickets, visitwww.brooks-dunn.com.
