The K Is Silent is the debut studio album of the American country music band Hot Country Knights. The band is led by Dierks Bentley (under his alter-ego) and is a parody of country music, specifically 1990s-era country. It was released on May 1, 2020 via Capitol Records Nashville.
The album includes the lead single "Pick Her Up", a duet with Travis Tritt. Dierks Bentley, who performs on the album in-character as Douglas "Doug" Douglasson, produced the album.[2][3]
Critical receptionedit
Giving it 4.5 out of 5 stars, Stephen Thomas Erlewine called it "a parody album that can also hold its own with the songs it sends up" and "This blend of brains, brawn, and bawdiness all sounds invigorating when delivered by this band of bozos".[4]
