Re-Dunn is the fourth solo studio album by country music artist Ronnie Dunn. The album was released January 10, 2020, via LWR. The album is a 24-song project that features covers that have left an impact on Dunn, with him calling it a "passion project". [1]

Contents

Following the album's announcement in September 2019, two songs, one country and one rock, were issued each month until the release date.

Background

Recording for the album began in 2018 at Dunn's home studio. The idea initially was planned as a rock covers project. Dunn had already recorded two dozen rock songs in 2018 while he was working on the Brooks & Dunn album Reboot ; however, once that project was finished, he decided to throw in some country songs. [2] Many of the musicians that worked on the album Dunn has worked with in the past and knew of their capabilities, making the recording process more of a fun jam session. [3]

Commercial performance

The album has sold 10,100 copies in the United States as of March 2020. [4]
