Multi-PLATINUM singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley's rowdy party anthem "Am I The Only One" has officially been certified GOLD by the RIAA for digital sales of over 500,000 song downloads. The smash hit became Bentley's eighth career No. one song as an artist and writer last fall when it topped country radio charts and served as the lead track off of Bentley's upcoming sixth studio album HOME, in stores Feb. 7.
"'Am I The Only One' seems to really have resonated with country fans looking to get out, drink some cold beer on the weekends and have a good time…it's become one of the rowdiest songs in our set," says Bentley. "It's now the moment in the show when girls go up on shoulders and beer cans go up in the air."
The new album's current single and title track "Home" is currently climbing toward the top of the chart. Bentley will return 'Home' for a special album release show at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium on Feb. 2. The second leg of the Country & Cold Cans tour will resume on Feb. 15 with the first dates scheduled internationally in Canada and Australia.

Dierks Bentley Returns to #1 with "Am I The Only One" in US & Canada!
Multi-Platinum singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley's "Am I The Only One" takes the No. one position on both the Billboard Country Singles and the Country Aircheck/Mediabase charts this week. The fan-favorie track also spent last week in the top spot on the Billboard Canada Country chart. The track becomes Bentley's eighth career No. one hit as a singer and a songwriter and is the lead single from his upcoming sixth Capitol Nashville studio project, scheduled for release in early 2012.
"'Am I The Only One' has been the perfect bridge between the 'Ridge' album and my next project," says Bentley. "I wanted to give radio and fans a fun party song to set the tone for summer, and I am so grateful that they helped take it all the way to No. one. Now we're ready to start peeling back more layers of the new album and get geared up for the Country & Cold Cans tour!"
Bentley announced last week that he will kick off the first leg of his Country & Cold Cans Tour beginning Oct. 6 in Lacrosse, WI. Special guests Jerrod Niemann and Eli Young Band will open for Bentley on the 22 city run that wraps in Denver, CO on Nov. 19. DBTV will continue to give fans all the behind the scenes action from the tour atwww.dierks.com.
"Am I The Only One" is the lead single off his upcoming sixth Capitol Nashville studio project. Bentley's new album follows in the footsteps of his critically acclaimed UP ON THE RIDGE, which earned Album of the Year nominations at the ACM, CMA and GRAMMY Awards this year. His previous five albums have sold over five million copies, earned 10 GRAMMY nominations, have spawned seven No. one hits (What Was I Thinkin," "Come A Little Closer," "Settle For A Slowdown," "Every Mile A Memory," "Free and Easy (Down The Road I Go)," "Feel That Fire," "Sideways") and 12 Top 10 hits.

DIERKS BENTLEY TO TOUR BACKED BY THE TRAVELIN’ MCCOURYS AND SPECIAL GUEST HAYES CARLL
As a prelude to the release of his bluegrass and acoustic roots inspired new album by the same name, singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley will kick off his UP ON THE RIDGE TOUR in Portland, OR on April 21. Tickets for the run of 24 shows in 30 days go on sale this Fri., March 19. Each show will be highlighted by the scorching acoustic musicianship of Bentley’s backing band the Travelin’ McCourys and Texas based singer/songwriter Hayes Carll in the opening slot.
The UP ON THE RIDGE tour will hit venues ranging from small rock clubs to major bluegrass festivals across the country as Bentley previews new music from the upcoming album, due this summer, and reworks his biggest hits with surprising new arrangements for the run.
Much more than just a bluegrass concept album, the new disc features Bentley working with some of the finest acoustic musicians in the world, including the Del McCoury Band and Chris Thile and the Punch Brothers. The disc also features a number of vocal and instrumental contributions ranging from Alison Krauss and Miranda Lambert to Tim O’Brien and Sam Bush. Working with an award-winning singer/songwriter/producer Jon Randall Stewart and world-class recording engineer Gary Paczosa, Bentley has crafted an album with rooted familiarity as well as big surprises.
“The only way I know to explain what this new album is to all the fans is to just get out on the road and play it for them,” he adds. “I’ve been rehearsing and working on set lists already… every show is going to be different and really special. There aren’t any better acoustic musicians in the world than the Travelin’ McCourys, period. And I’ve been a big fan of Hayes for a long time. It’ll be a total blast…I’m already plotting and planning on how to fit more dates into the schedule!”
With Ron McCoury on mandolin, Rob McCoury on banjo, Jason Carter on fiddle and Alan Bartram on bass, the Travelin’ McCourys are the latest incarnation of the most awarded band in the history of bluegrass -The Del McCoury Band. Known for their individual prowess on their instruments and their rapidly expanding reputation as collaborators, the Travelin’ McCourys are twenty-first century musical pilgrims and adventurers.
After a debut indie release and an acclaimed self-released sophomore album, singer/songwriter Hayes Carll found a home at Lost Highway. TROUBLE IN MIND, Carll’s Lost Highway debut released in April 2008, features a collection of songs that blend some of the finest elements of folk, country and rock with brainy, quirky lyrics. Since the release, Carll has toured almost non-stop, both with his band and solo. As a result of Carll’s patience and hard work, TROUBLE IN MIND was the #1 R&R Americana Album of 2008 and the #1 Country album at Amazon for 2008. TROUBLE IN MIND has received consistently high-praise in the press, including glorious reviews on three different NPR programs. Fans can expect a new album later this year.
