Dierks Bentley goes for "Home" in February 2012
The upcoming album's anthemic title single was released to iTunes last week and hit the Top 10. Am I The Only One was the first single from the disc and became Bentley's eighth career number one.

"My home is in Nashville with my family, my home is on the road with our fans and my home is definitely in country music," said Bentley. "This album is more than a year's worth of writing, recording and testing out material on the road in front of our hard core 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."
Bentley will perform Home on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon this Thursday, Nov. 17 at 12:35 a.m. Eastern.
