“This whole experience has been humbling to say the least. What a cool rush to hear somebody do one of your tunes in a unique way, and it still holds up,” Dunn said in a statement. “That’s the greatest compliment you can get as an artist. People used to ask us all the time about the legacy we wanted to leave, and it’s honestly just that — you hope the music stands up over time.”
“They’re making their own music,” Brooks said. “But just like we did, they still remember and respect the music they grew up with. It makes you feel good that these acts were inspired by us in some small way.”
Additionally, the duo added about their collaboration with Brown on the Bobby Jones show on Friday (Feb. 8) about his vocal’s on their 2005 hit, “Believe.”
“Kane was a great surprise,” Brooks stated during the radio interview. “His records are one thing, but when you plug someone into a song like that, I think (Ronnie and I) both just kind of looked at each other when he starting singing and went, ‘Wow, this is going to be good.'”
