The ’90s influenced band Hot Country Knights, fronted by Dierks' Bentley (as the character "Doug Douglason"), has announced details about their debut album The K Is Silent which will be out May 1.

Bentley produced the album.

Dierks' "Doug Douglason" said, “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.
