The
duo also gave fans a sneak peek of another track on the impending
release this past weekend, taking to the stage as surprise guests during
Kacey Musgraves’ show at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium to join her on
“Neon Moon.” Proving the songs on the project thrive in today’s world,
Musgraves’ inspired take builds on a dramatic, pulsating synth.
REBOOT will also see the duo team up with Kane Brown, Thomas Rhett,
Brett Young, Ashley McBryde, Brothers Osborne, Luke Combs, Midland, Cody
Johnson, Jon Pardi, and Tyler Booth on 12 re-ignited versions of Brooks
& Dunn’s biggest hits. The collection includes all-new arrangements
of face-to-face collaborations ranging from edgy-rock intensity to
heartbroken EDM, and from retro honky-tonk fun to the exposed nerves of a
reflective acoustic ballad.
With 20 No. One hits stretching back to 1991, two Grammy awards, dozens
of ACM and CMA honors and a discography counting more album sales than
any country duo in history – regardless of genre – Brooks & Dunn’s
influence on today’s country has never been in question. Hits like “Boot
Scootin’ Boogie,” “My Maria,” “Only in America,” and “Believe” have
propelled the duo to more than 30 million albums sold, with the New York Times
heralding “together they helped drive the power-country era of the
early-to-mid 1990s and continued to benefit from the sea change in the
genre they helped initiate right through their most recent albums.”
Their original “Merle Haggard meets The Rolling Stones” vibe made them
progressive stars in their own right. In 2014, the duo announced their
reunion along with long-time friend, Reba McEntire, for a residency
called “Together in Vegas” at The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace in Las
Vegas, which received rave reviews and continues to be extended
including more shows throughout this year. It was also just announced
that a Country Music Hall of Fame exhibit on Brooks & Dunn will open
Aug. 9. The museum’s exhibition will recall their early careers as solo
artists and songwriters, the circumstances that united them as
performers, and their innovative approach to stage production and
touring. For more information visit: www.brooks-dunn.com. Follow Brooks & Dunn on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrooksandDunn, Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brooksanddunn and Twitter: https://twitter.com/brooksanddunn.
