Hot Country Knights, the band fronted by Dierks Bentley’s alter ego Doug Douglason, has announced their first single, “Pick Her Up,” which features Travis Tritt.
In January, the band – which is actually just Bentley’s road band, who likes to surprise fans with full sets of 90’s cover songs at pop up concerts – signed a recording contract with Universal Music Group Nashville, which is Dierks’ longtime label partner.
“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. “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.”
