Per the Arizona native's PR camp, Dierks will appear and perform on NBC’s TODAY on both Feb. 6 and Feb. 7 and The Late Show with David Letterman on Feb. 8, where he’ll follow the TV taping with a full set for their popular webcast program Live On Letterman from the famous Ed Sullivan Theatre. He's set to cap off in Los Angeles with the 54th Annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 12 and a performance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Feb. 15.

"We worked so hard and spent so much time writing and recording this album," Bentley said of his Home offering. "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. ..."

Beyond Home's freshman "Am I The Only One" hit, Bentley also penned the album's title track, which has been cited as the record's "spiritual anchor" and garnered the attention of National Public Radio critics for its lyrical authenticity.

Moreover, per Bentley's PR camp, the artist's writing credentials on this CD also include "Breathe You In" and "Thinking of You," the latter of which has been dubbed as "a father's love letter." (The married Bentley is the dad to two daughters.)
 
As for guest performers, Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild stops by Home to lend her vocals to Bentley's “When You Gonna Come Around.” And hotshot-bluegrass players Sam Bush and Tim O’Brien reunite with Bentley on “Heart of a Lonely Girl.” Meanwhile, the album's country crankers, "Diamonds Make Babies" and "5-1-5-0," have already been road tested and embraced by country fans, who will also want to keep a close ear out  for the recording’s hidden special guest.
 
Following the CD's release week, Bentley will jet straight to the first show of his 2012 Country & Cold Cans Tour on Feb. 15 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
