  1. 1s... and Then Some is the title of a two-disc compilation album released on September 8, 2009, by country music duo Brooks & Dunn. It is the duo's fifth greatest hits package. The package contains two new tracks that were both released as singles, "Indian Summer" and a collaboration with ZZ Top lead guitarist Billy Gibbons, "Honky Tonk Stomp". It is their last release before their five-year hiatus from 2010 to 2015.

Content

The album reprises 28 singles from the duo's previous studio albums, but does not contain any material from 1999's Tight Rope. It also features two new tracks, "Indian Summer" and "Honky Tonk Stomp," the latter of which features ZZ Top lead singer Billy Gibbons. Both of these new songs have been released to radio as singles.
