Hot Country Knights (Dierks Bentley) Are Releasing Their Debut Album!

UMG Nashville

The Hot Country Knights–a band fronted by an incognito Dierks Bentley–announced their debut album, The K Is Silent, will drop on May 1.

The 10-song offering, which was produced by Dierks, features collaborations with Travis Tritt on “Pick Her Up” and Terri Clark on “You Make It Hard.” Dierks co-wrote five songs on the upcoming album, while songwriters Jim Beavers, Brett Beavers, Jon Randall, Brett Tyler and Jon Nite co-penned multiple tracks.

The Hot Country Knights are comprised of Dierks’ road band, performing ?90s-esque country tunes while donning aliases, mullet wigs Douglason, lead bass player Trevor Travis, lead guitarist Marty Ray Rayro Roburn, fiddle player Terotej Terry Dvoraczekynski, steel guitarist Barry Van Ricky and percussionist Monte Montgomery.

“We were out on the road singing a lot of other people’s hits, and we called them ‘Greatest Hits’ because by us singing them, it actually made them great,” Doug Douglason says. “But this is a step beyond our Greatest Hits. This is all original material, and it’s the best stuff to come out of Nashville from a man band in several decades.”

The band will hit the road for their One Knight Stand Tour this spring. The 13-date tour kicks off on April 7 in San Diego, making additional stops in L.A., Boston, Atlanta, Nashville and more. Hannah Dasher, Tenille Townes, Rachel Wammack and Lainey Wilson will provide support during various stops.
