(Garth) Brooks And Dunn to Release New Song
Maybe they’ll start a new duo. But what would they call it? Garth Brooks and Ronnie Dunn have a new song coming out. It will be on Garth’s recently announced 14th studio album, which will be called Time Traveler. The new album will be out on November 7. The first song will be with fellow native Oklahoman Ronnie Dunn. The song is called “Rodeo Man.”
In a press release, the new song, which will be out on Monday (11/6), was described as “a wild ride with a buckin’ groove and cowboy lyrics.”
Time Traveler, which Garth produced, includes ten tracks. Brooks said in a statement about the upcoming album, “There are a lot of different eras on this album, thus the name. Country music’s core is sincerity, and after that, you can dress it up a thousand different ways. I am so lucky to live under the flag of country music.”
Time Traveler is part of Garth’s latest – and, he says, final – Limited Series boxed set. It will be available exclusively at Bass Pro Shops.
Time Traveler joins Man Against Machine, Gunslinger, Fun, and the three-disc Triple Live to complete the seven-disc Limited Series set.

Garth will play a live Dive Bar show at the opening of his “Friends In Low Places Bar and Honky-Tonk” in downtown Nashville. His show there will be the day after Thanksgiving. He said of the new bar, “It’s just a classic, good ol’ Oklahoma honky-tonk for me playing country music.”
He continued, “There’s themes everywhere in there. The bathroom in Friends In Low Places isn’t just a bathroom. You’ll see. Man, it’s cool!”
Brooks concluded, “We are in the entertainment business, and our job is to make sure that you feel the time and money that you spent to get there – hopefully, you would do it again if you were offered the same chance.”
Garth said last week (10/10) on Studio G, “I gotta tell you – when people go, ‘What’s your favorite thing – stadiums, arenas, whatever?’ Dive Bars. Dive bars are stupid fun. And this one is going to be nuts!”
He added, “How do you open a Friends in Low Places bar? With a Garth concert! This is going to be off the chain: Black Friday, a brand new bar in the home of country music. Hollywood couldn’t write a better script. I can NOT wait!”
