The Greatest Hits Collection II is the second greatest hits compilation album by country music duo Brooks & Dunn. It is the sequel to the duo's 1997 compilation The Greatest Hits Collection. It is also the second collection of the duo's most popular releases, chronicling their greatest hits from 1998's If You See Her to 2003's Red Dirt Road, omitting songs from 1999's Tight Rope. Three new recorded tracks — "That's What It's All About", "It's Getting Better All The Time", and "Independent Trucker" — are also included on this compilation. These first two songs were released as singles, peaking at #2 and #1, respectively, on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. The album is currently out of print.

Artwork

The cover features the longhorn logo from the first cover on a white background. There are no barbwires included either. The inlay does not feature the bull skull from the first inlay. It instead features the longhorn logo painted with the American flag on a sticker saying "Brooks and Dunn and Wild West Show, Neon Circus" and has the Coors Light logo on it.
