Says Dierks, “Every song on that album is awesome. I can’t say enough good things about Hank Jr. and his influence on all of us in country music. He’s that guy that came in with all the great songs, great lyrics that were really relevant to the times.”  

Look for Dierks to perform on the 48th Annual CMA Awards airing live Wednesday, November 5 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
