After re-recording the hits of Brooks & Dunn with guest stars like Luke Combs and Jon Pardi on this springs Reboot, Ronnie Dunn tackles the songs of his influences on the upcoming album Re-Dunn.
A massive collection of 24 songs, the record includes the cowboy singers interpretations of hits by a diverse group of artist, including the Eagles, Tom T. Hall, Johnny Rodriguez, Merle Haggard, and Eric Clapton. Dunn also covers two songs by George Strait: The Cowboy Rides Away and Amarillo by Morning. He premieres the latter today, along with his version of the Hollies 1972 hit Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress).
Dunn plans to release two tracks from the album every four weeks until its official release sometime in January.
This is a passion project for me. If you put together a group of songs that define the soundtrack of my life, this is what it would look like, he said in a statement.
Dunn, who turned 66 in June, has shifted his focus when it comes to country music and, especially, how he releases songs, either solo or with Brooks & Dunn.
