По-малките с по-големите: благодарност

"Months ago, we opened an email we were never expecting to receive. Brooks and Dunn (мегакасово кънтри-дуо - б.м.) asking us to create a reimagined version of their legendary song 'Boot Scootin' Boogie'. This, a request too wild to even consider passing on, more than wet our appetite for adventure. We asked if there were any rules for this particular project. And when they replied with a resounding 'no rules apply', the boys and I knew this was gonna get weird. We started down the rabbit hole, and late one night began to cook up a concept. What if Lemmy from Motörhead was a member of Led Zeppelin, and they birthed a song called 'Boot Scootin' Boogie', what would that sound like? So, in the basement of our Halestorm HQ, we created a dirty, fast, raw, energy riddled version of this epic classic (за колаборативен албум на дуото с редица изпълнители, 15 ноември' 2024 - б.м.). The next day we went to Blackbird Studios in Nashville TN to work with the legendary Dan Huff on the song, and were greeted with the entire Brooks and Dunn posse! We plugged in, and performed 'Boot Scoot' for the first time, while everyone watched in the control room. Last note still ringing, the whole studio erupted with excitement, and a good dose of shock. We were relieved that they loved it, that we passed the audition (40-годишната Лизи, носител на Грами със своята 27-годишна група! - б.м.), and that we somehow matched Ronnie Dunn's mushroom trip premonitions for this particular project. It's such an honor to have earned the trust of these legends, thank you so much to Kix Brooks, Ronnie Dunn, Dann Huff, Juice, and the entire B&D team for putting your faith in us, and letting us throw a wild party in the beautiful house you built!"
