Background

edit

Recording for the album began in 2018 at Dunn's home studio. The idea initially was planned as a rock covers project. Dunn had already recorded two dozen rock songs in 2018 while he was working on the Brooks & Dunn album Reboot; however, once that project was finished, he decided to throw in some country songs.[2] Many of the musicians that worked on the album Dunn has worked with in the past and knew of their capabilities, making the recording process more of a fun jam session.[3]

The album has sold 10,100 copies in the United States as of March 2020.[4]
