Brooks & Dunn, the best-selling duo of all time, have been shaping the country genre for over three decades. With a catalog of mostly self-written, Grammy Award-winning songs, they could have taken it easy, knowing they'd made a lasting impact on the American songbook. But that's not how the pair operates. Today, they're announcing their next joint project, REBOOT 2, which will be available on November 15th via Sony Music Nashville. REBOOT 2 is the follow-up to their 2019 album, REBOOT. It's in the same format, but this time, a whole new group of today's most committed artists—from country and beyond—have been given maximum creative freedom. The duo let each artist choose the song they wanted to lead the 18-track collection. They gave them one simple instruction: reimagine the song to suit their own taste and style from scratch.You can pre-order the album today HERE.
Bryan wrote the story for the Oak Island video with his girlfriend, podcaster Brianna Lapaglia. Matthew Dillon Cohen directed it. He's done several Bryan clips, including "Nine Ball," which starred Matthew McConaughey, "Oklahoma Smokeshow," and "Boys of Faith."You can find "Oak Island" on Bryan's latest album, The Great American Bar Scene, which came out earlier this summer. The singer-songwriter is taking a well-deserved break after spending several months on the road for his Quittin' Time Tour. He'll be back on stage for a set at Bourbon & Beyond in Louisville, Kentucky, later this month before kicking off another run of North American shows in mid-November.
