Don’t put Brooks & Dunn in the “nostalgia act” category just yet. Even though most of their musical output the last few years has been revisiting their biggest hits with the “Reboot” albums, Kix Brooks hints they may have some more new music up their sleeves. In an interview with “Billboard” magazine, when the subject of possible new music came up, Brooks said, “It’s not that I felt like I ever lost focus on Brooks & Dunn, but it is a good point in my life, especially if we are going to make new music. That’s a little deeper commitment in terms of creative focus and really getting your head in the game and seeing if we can come up with something good.” So, no concrete statement that they’ll come with new music, but it seems that it’s certainly on the table.

Lainey Wilson‘s career has come so far so quickly, she’s constantly experiencing landmark moments. One such instance happened Saturday night. Lainey’s “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” tour stopped at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and it led to a surreal “full-circle” moment for the singer. Her show was opened by Mae Estes and Tracy Lawrence, and it wasn’t that long ago that she was opening for the country legend. “(It’s) really cool to think that Tracy Lawrence is going to be on my show bill,” she told “People” magazine. “He took me out on the road with him about three years ago and I remember he stood side stage and watched every single one of my performances.”

$3-million to Hurricane Helene relief efforts, and now $1-million to the Salvation Army. Dolly Parton is almost too good to be true. It’s the second time Dolly has made a million-dollar donation to the bell-ringers. The Salvation Army’s National Commander, Kenneth G. Hodder, said in a statement, “Ms. Parton is once again ringing in hope and holiday spirit through another incredibly generous donation. Ahead of this Christmas season, when hope is needed more than ever, we are honored and grateful to receive this gift which will help The Salvation Army serve millions of individuals and families during a time of vital need.”
