Are Dierks Bentley's Hot Country Knights About To Ride Again?

Audio By Carbonatix

Hot Country Knights - the band of mulleted 90's country aficianados who bear a striking resemblance to Dierks Bentley and his backup band - were said to have retired. But Dierks now hints that the band might not be done after all. 

Bentley reveals that Doug Douglason (who looks a lot like the country singer) and the gang are eyeing a new project of some kind. Not only that, but the '90s themed country group - who had enlisted older stars like Travis Tritt and Terri Clark as duet partners on their 2020 album, "The K is Silent" - have brought in some next-gen artists to join them this go-around, including one Lainey Wilson. "She may be doing something with the Hot Country Knights," Bentley hints. "I heard from those guys, and they're trying to pull in some A-List artists - they're way over their skis on that one. I don't know much about it."

Much like Clark Kent and Superman, you never see Dierks and Doug Douglason in the same room - but the two share a love for 90's country, and Dierks says that it's a distinct possibility the Knights could show up to play a few songs on his headlining tour. 

"I've tried to ban them from the shows, but you know, Doug has a way of sweet-talking his way past the ladies. Usually the security at our show is ladies 65 and older, and that's kinda his wheelhouse. He has a real way of charming those gals," Bentley says. "He gets that van backstage, next thing you know, they come out on stage. So I expect they'll be there in Toronto when we kick the tour off." Dierks Bentley's "Gravel & Gold" tour kicks off June 1 in Toronto - and if you go, keep an eye out for Hot Country Knights.
