"We worked so hard and spent so much time writing and recording this album," said Bentley. "Now we get to criss cross the country and get it in the fans' hands...I'm sure I'll be running on adrenaline the entire time. I've got a few surprises planned along the way too. Kicking it all off tonight at The Ryman...there's nothing better than that."
"Home" includes the hit title track and Am I the Only One. The new project also features special guests including Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild and bluegrasser Sam Bush and Tim O'Brien.
