Kacey Musgraves gave Brooks & Dunn’s “Neon Moon” an airy, feminine twist, and we can’t stop listening to it.
In 2019, Brooks & Dunn’s dropped their duet album called Reboot. It is filled with reimagined versions of their twelve classic songs with the help from other country music artists like Luke Combs, Thomas Rhett, Ashley McBryde, Kane Brown, and more.
Of course, an easy standout is the addition of Kacey Musgraves to the duo’s 1992 hit “Neon Moon.” The country superstar lent her bright voice to contrast beautifully with Brooks & Dunn’s masculine vocals.
“She came in with such a different progressive twist, and the song still stood up,” Dunn told Billboard about Musgraves’ contribution to the album.
Well, the song must really be one of Musgraves’ favorites. She also performed “Neon Moon” on several dates at her Oh, What a World: Tour from 2018 to 2019. On one occasion, Musgraves invited the legendary duo to perform the song with her during her show at the Ryman Auditorium.
Rather than an exact remake, Musgraves took the lead, while golden-throated Dunn supplied lower harmonies. The performance was so great it brought the crowd on their feet.
