Dierks Bentley: and the name of the new CD is...
"I spent more time making this album than ever before...so much passion went into writing and recording these songs," said Bentley. "I think that 'Feel That Fire' really embodies the entire collection of work. All of these songs are about being vitally alive and in the moment. There are rowdy, Saturday night drinking songs for when you are out with the boys, and there are intimate love songs for when you are at home with your girl."
Bentley will premiere a new music video for the lead single this Friday, Dec. 5 on the homepage of Yahoo! Music. Directed by Peter Zavadil, the video was shot in Nashville at the end of October.
Next week, Bentley jets to Oslo, Norway to perform 3 songs, including 2 new tracks, at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert on Dec. 11. Hosted by Scarlett Johansson and Michael Caine, the concert will also include performances from Diana Ross, Feist, Jason Mraz and Il Divo.

Although its lyric explains how while life circumstances may change, Bentley basically remains the same person. The same thing, though, can also be said about the country star's music. He's been recording for 20 years now. Yet Bentley has come this far with his integrity still intact. He's back with a strong, 14-song set that, like a good beverage, feels good ...
Dierks Bentley seems intent on expanding his musical boundaries, but he may have overreached too much in eschewing where he came from.
That most evident by the dominating textured beats. Producer Ross Copperman and Bentley seem hell bent on injecting odd meters and sounds, sharp detours from past efforts. Unfortunately, the atmospheric beats muddy up the vocal delivery on "Freedom," a song that stretches far too long at almost four minutes. Bentley also channels U2 with its ...
Change was in store for Dierks Bentley when it came to recording his seventh album, "Riser." On the personal front, he lost his father and added to his family, clearly affecting the subject matter of his latest.
