Jelly Roll And More On Brooks & Dunn’s New ‘Reboot’
Brooks & Dunn’s Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have announced their forthcoming collaboration project REBOOT 2, available November 15 via Sony Music Nashville.
REBOOT 2 is the sequel to their acclaimed 2019 album REBOOT and follows the same format; except this time, a brand new group of today’s most engaging artists–from country and beyond–were given maximum creative freedom. Letting each respective artist choose which song they’d like to lead for the 18-track collection, the duo gave one simple direction: to reimagine the song to fit their own taste and style from the ground up.
The album features 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.
Dunn explains, “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. 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 rejects the idea of putting these songs in a historical vault. Instead, it celebrates Brooks & Dunn’s lasting influence and versatility, showcasing the multi-faceted ways their music continues to resonate with today’s most celebrated artists. With styles ranging from progressive country and classic bluegrass to heavy metal.
