Brilliant! If you’re like me and miss the 90’s country sound, you’re going to love what Dierks Bentley and friends are up to now.
With their debut single featuring country icon Travis Tritt, “Pick Her Up”, Hot Country Knights is bringing back the popular 90’s country sound with a tongue in cheek approach by infusing a comedic element into it.
Obviously, if you are going to bring back some 90’s country, you need some mullets and line dancing, too. You get all that and so much more. This first single is upbeat, fun, and takes you straight back to the 90’s with a special appearance by Travis Tritt. I am hoping they keep bringing more country stars back who were popular in the 90’s to continue with a fun revival.
“The sound behind ‘Pick Her Up’ is Hot Country Knights 101…it’s so hot that I have advised the radio promotion department at UMG to wear oven mitts when delivering it to Country radio,” said lead singer Doug Douglason (aka Dierks Bentley). “Travis is an old buddy of ours…we go way back and everybody knows when you need a hit…you call Tritt. We appreciate his support and all our friends in the biz that are coming together right now to help us finally get our shot.”
This is just what country needs right now, and I’m here for it! Loving the music and the humor. Can’t wait to hear the full album!
