Hot Country Knights Made TV Debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

After making their television debut on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week, the Hot Country Knights deliver an explosive cover “Honky Tonkin’s What I Do Best” by Marty Stuart feat. Travis Tritt. As its lyrics epitomize the mentality behind the ’90s influenced band, the Knight’s revive the rocking classic with blended vocals accompanied by their self-styled choreography.

The exclusive online performance serves as an ode to their musical heroes such as Stuart and Tritt, who is featured on the Knights debut single “Pick Her Up.” Produced and written by multi-Platinum entertainer Dierks Bentley along with co-writers Jim Beavers and Brett Beavers, the classic barnstormer now at Country radio finds Doug Douglason and Tritt trading vocals filled with “humorous lyrical content” (Billboard).

Additionally, those who missed the Knights television debut can watch the performance of their new original song “Asphalt” here.

Russell Dickerson Introduces New Single “Love You Like I Used To” From Forthcoming Sophomore Album

Triple Tigers’ multi-platinum entertainer, Russell Dickerson, releases his long-awaited lead track “Love You Like I Used To” off his new album due out later this year. The Nashville-based chart mainstay who has seen back-to-back arrivals with every single since his debut (“Yours,” “Blue Tacoma,” “Every Little Thing”), announced the release to his multitude of fans on social media last week, inciting an influx of excited chatter on the internet.

“The beginning of this song is intentionally different from me,” said Dickerson about the single. “It makes you think it is a breakup song but it is really a lead up to how great loves evolve and get better over time. Like all of my songs, I’ve lived it. I started dating my wife 10 years ago and it is true— I don’t love her like I used to and I think a lot of people will be able to relate to this song. It’s a really special song that I’m crazy proud of!”

The first new song off the upcoming sophomore album comes just one week after Dickerson celebrated a RIAA Gold Certification for his debut full-length debut album “Yours.” Dickerson also joins Kane Brown on the “The Worldwide Beautiful Tour,” later this month.

Dickerson’s “Love You Like I Used To” impacts radio on March 2^nd, and is available today everywhere EVERYWHERE you can get music.
