Dierks Bentley Heads for ‘Home’ With New Album in 2012

Dierks Bentley has officially set Feb. 7, 2012, as the release date for his sixth studio album, titled 'Home.' The disc's latest single is the anthemic title track, out now and hot on the heels of the Arizona native's eighth No. 1 single, 'Am I the Only One.'

Dierks, who moved to Nashville in 1994, will debut the new album with a special show at Music City's venerable Ryman Auditorium Auditorium on Feb. 2. Tickets for the show will be available beginning Friday (Nov. 18) at 10:00 AM CT at the Ryman box office, the Ryman website and all Ticketmaster locations.

"My home is in Nashville with my family," says the singer. "My home is on the road with our fans and my home is definitely in country music. This album is more than a year's worth of writing, recording and testing out material on the road in front of our hardcore fans. The end result is an album that runs through all the types of country songs and sounds I enjoy singing and playing. I can't wait to share it with the fans!"

Dierks wraps up the first leg of his Country & Cold Cans tour this weekend with shows in Idaho, Montana, Colorado and South Dakota, and on Thursday night (Nov. 17), he'll perform 'Home' on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,' airing at 12:35 PM ET on NBC. The tour resumes in February with dates in Canada and Australia already on the books. Check out those tour dates here.
