The Boot rounds up today's country music news from around the web.

Darius Rucker's third country album, True Believers, finally has a release date: May 21. "I'm very proud of this record," says the singer, who wrote 10 of the project's 12 tracks. "The songs, the co-writes, the vibe - it's all really different from what we've recorded and released on the past two albums, and I hope that difference resonates with the fans." The South Carolina native's first two solo country records were both chart-toppers, producing five No 1 singles.

Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban, Lady Antebellum and rapper Pitbull are the latest acts to join the all-star lineup for "ACM Presents: Tim McGraw's Superstar Summer Night." The special will be taped Monday, April 8 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and will air at a later date on CBS. Previously-announced performers include Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Taylor Swift and Ne-Yo. The concert will benefit ACM Lifting Lives, the philanthropic arm of the ACM, dedicated to improving lives through the power of music.
