There&#8217;s the solo stuff, their Vegas residency with Reba McEntire, and now their upcoming &#8220;Reboot&#8221; album.<\/p>\n<p>But they really did call it quits as far as being a duo that would record and tour on a regular basis. And that break came at the perfect time. Kix Brooks said,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think it was good for both of us. There&#8217;s stuff you want to do, and when you&#8217;re on the &#8216;hillbilly treadmill&#8217; there&#8217;s really no time. There wasn&#8217;t any time off for us. We went twenty years without stopping.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He says that &#8220;hillbilly treadmill&#8221; started rolling when their first four singles went number one, and after that, it was like being on a rocket ship of success.
