The track leads second collaborative album
Country’s most beloved duo Brooks & Dunn join forces with Lainey Wilson for an electric reimagination of their 2005 No. 1 hit “Play Something Country.” The propulsive country anthem highlights the signature blend of honky-tonk style and country-rock sound from both Brooks & Dunn and Wilson. “Play Something Country” is the first release from the upcoming Reboot II, available on November 15th via Sony Music Nashville.
“Lainey was one of the first artists to get in the studio with us for this project,” states Kix Brooks. “She came head-to-toe in flames, bell-bottoms and all, and added that Louisiana swagger like only she could. This was a fun one!”
“I don’t know anybody in this town, in this generation of country music, who could say that these guys are not influences on what they do,” Wilson shares, “They were the soundtrack to my childhood, so I was excited to make some magic with them.”
With a catchy chorus and rebellious flair, Wilson brings a bold ZZ Top-inspired sound to “Play Something Country,” perfectly matching her fiery performance style.
Reboot II is far from a tribute album, it’s a celebration of Brooks & Dunn’s lasting influence and versatility, showcasing how their music continues to resonate with contemporary artists and generations. The sequel to their acclaimed 2019 collaboration project, Reboot II follows the format of reimagined B&D classics—except this time, a new group of today’s most engaging artists were given maximum creative freedom. In addition to Wilson, the album features contributions from 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.
