Sunday Classics: Some line dancin’ this Sunday?

Brooks & Dunn’s cover of ‘Boots Scootin’ Boogie’ is still foot-tapping material

The popular cover of Boots Scootin’ Boogie that draws all line dancers to the floor turns 30 this year! Released in May 1992 on Brooks & Dunn’s first feature album, Brand New Man, the song is a cover of Asleep at the Wheel’s original Boots Scootin’ Boogie. The tune, like every ode to a Texas honky-tonk, sees peppy undertones, a patented country twang and a prodigious sing-along ability that keeps you grooving right through. 

If you’re a country fan in the mood for some good ol’ line dancing, start a-tapping as Boots Scootin’ Boogie turns 30!
