Lobo, Overstreet and Aerts first teamed up in January 2023 to record new versions of Lobo and Overstreet’s hit songs, “Me and You and a Dog Named Boo” and “When You Say Nothing at All.” "Billy had this great idea about getting the three of us together to do some of our old tunes,” said Lobo. “He’s worked with each of us separately for many, many years and knows our music inside and out so he thought this would be an interesting way to revisit them. I’ve always admired Paul’s artistry as both a songwriter and a singer and have really enjoyed what our trio has done with the songs.” “To be able to record with such talented friends brings something so special to these songs,” adds Overstreet. “As a songwriter, I really can’t say enough about how incredible it was to work with these two songwriting icons,” says Aerts.
Lobo’s dreamy love songs dominated the Adult Contemporary charts for decades with 12 Top 20 AC hits and four AC #1s and have remained popular around the world ever since with Lobo logging over a million monthly listeners on Spotify alone. In October 2021, Lobo released four digital albums via StarVista Retail and has since released a pair of Christmas songs and a live album. New and rare content is available on his official YouTube channel.

He’s written #1 songs for Randy Travis, Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney, Keith Whitley, Allison Krauss, Tanya Tucker, Ronnie Milsap and George Jones and has hit the Top 10 eight times with his own solo recordings.
