With a #1 hit already to his credit for his upcoming album, Dierks Bentley announced today that his new album would be named after his current single “Home.” The album features the #1 hit “Am I The Only One,” Dierks’ eighth chart-topping hit.  He also will be playing a special album release show in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium on February 2, 2011.

“My home is in Nashville with my family, my home is on the road with our fans and my home is definitely in country music,” said Bentley. “This album is more than a year’s worth of writing, recording and testing out material on the road in front of our hard core fans. The end result is an album that runs through all the types of country songs and sounds I enjoy singing and playing. I can’t wait to share it with the fans!”

Dierks will wrap-up his first leg of the Country & Cold Cans tour this weekend with shows in Nampa, ID (11/16), Bozeman, MT (11/17), Rapid City, SD (11/18) and Denver on November 19. The tour will pick up aain in February with dates already scheduled in Canada and Austraila.

Fans of the last album Up On The Ridge can only hope the new record will feature at least a couple of tunes like that. We’d expect such a thing as Dierks has long had a ‘bluegrass’ tune on each of his records, much to many a ‘poptry’ fan's chagrin.
