10. Hot Country Knights – ‘The K Is Silent’
Hot Country Knights may be a parody band featuring Dierks Bentley but they certainly delivered the album we all needed at the start of the first lockdown. With a nod to 90s music, some fantastic visuals and Dierks in character as Doug Douglason, Hot Country Knights were the light relief that came at the right time. From the Travis Tritt featuring ‘Pick Her Up’ to the bottom-loving ‘Asphalt’, this album kept a smile on our faces all year.
