The best-selling duo of all time, Brooks & Dunn is teaming up with some of country music’s hottest stars for a new collaboration project, REBOOT 2

Out November 15 via Sony Music Nashville, the project serves as the sequel to 2019’s REBOOT. It follows a similar format but features a slew of new artists, including Lainey Wilson, Morgan Wallen, Jelly Roll, Riley Green, Megan Moroney, HARDY, ERNEST, Corey Kent, and more. 

The album features reimagined versions of some of the duo’s biggest songs such as “Play Something Country,” “Neon Moon,” Believe,” “Brand New Man,” “Hillbilly Deluxe,” “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” the beloved “Only In America,” as well as many others.

The artists were granted complete creative freedom, with each choosing their own song to lead in the 18-track collection. The only guideline given was to completely reimagine the song to match their unique taste and style.

“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 explained. “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.”
