That \u2018Red Dirt Road\u2019 wasn\u2019t about a red dirt road \u2026 it was about where they grew up and where things happened. That was the one that made me realize that country music can transcend because it can tell stories, and their story was a red dirt road, but mine was maybe a lifeguard tower or a beach somewhere. I was already a fan, but \u2018Red Dirt Road\u2019 made me dig in a little bit more.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Cody Johnson: \u201cYou\u2019ll Always Be Loved By Me\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s so good, and every time I\u2019ve ever heard it on the radio, I thought Ronnie Dunn was probably the best vocalist that\u2019s ever lived. It\u2019s great. His voice is huge on that song.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Jon Pardi: \u201cBoot Scootin\u2019 Boogie\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>\u201cThat song would be the first thing you think of when you think of line dancing, \u201890s country. It\u2019s Brooks &amp; Dunn, and it\u2019s \u2018Boot Scootin\u2019 Boogie.\u2019 The thing I love about Brooks &amp; Dunn is they came out in the \u201890s, and it\u2019s 2019, and everybody still loves Brooks &amp; Dunn.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">LANCO: \u201cMama Don\u2019t Get Dressed Up for Nothing\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>\u201cYou always knew that if you played a Brooks &amp; Dunn song you would get the crowd back jamming,\u201d LANCO\u2019s Brandon Lancaster says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Luke Combs: \u201cHard Workin\u2019 Man\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>\u201c<em>Hard Workin\u2019 Man<\/em> album is way up there for me as one of the best ever. One of the first albums I\u2019ve ever gotten my hands was that on cassette tape. But I just loved it, and I listened back, and I was way in on Brooks &amp; Dunn from that point on. So, to me they\u2019re the peak of the mountain, my version of what country music should be is Brooks &amp; Dunn. I was born in 1990. To me, that is the holy grail of it. So, it\u2019s been an awesome experience getting to perform once with them already and do the album together.
