***Reboot II*** is the thirteenth studio album by American [country music](/source/Country_music) duo [Brooks & Dunn](/source/Brooks_%26_Dunn). It is a follow-up to their 2019 album *[Reboot](/source/Reboot_(Brooks_%26_Dunn_album))*, featuring re-recordings of Brooks and Dunn's hit singles with guest vocals from other artists.

## History

In 2019, Brooks & Dunn released *Reboot*, which featured them re-recording existing songs of theirs with guest vocals from country music singers. *Reboot II* also comprises re-recordings, but unlike its predecessor, it features musicians from outside the country music genre. Among these are [the Earls of Leicester](/source/The_Earls_of_Leicester) on a [bluegrass](/source/Bluegrass_music) rendition of "[How Long Gone](/source/How_Long_Gone)", and rock band [Halestorm](/source/Halestorm) on "[Boot Scootin' Boogie](/source/Boot_Scootin'_Boogie)". [Dann Huff](/source/Dann_Huff) produced the album, with assistance from [Joey Moi](/source/Joey_Moi), [Kristian Bush](/source/Kristian_Bush), and [Jerry Douglas](/source/Jerry_Douglas) on some tracks.[1] According to the duo, each collaborative artist was allowed creative input on which song they covered. The album precedes the duo's Neon Moon Tour, to begin in 2025.[2]
