The legendary duo released their Reboot II album in November 2024, and the guys were quite excited about the new batch of artists they got to cover their songs this time around.

Kix Brooks told us in an interview, "Well, one day our manager showed up, and he said, 'Guys, I think we could do this reboot thing again,' and I’m not sure how Ronnie felt about it, but I’m like, 'We already did that, right?' I think we both come from the school of, we don’t want this thing to be tired. We’re not just trying to do the same thing over again, and honestly, that was real different for us doing the 'Reboot I' album."

He continued, "There were some neat takes on it, Kacey Musgraves certainly did a very different version of 'Neon Moon,' but for the most part, you know, we just kind of strayed, blurred the edges a little bit, I guess, for lack of a better way of saying it. It’s like, man, let’s turn this thing loose."
