Bentley goes Off the Map
Following stadium dates with Luke Combs this spring, Bentley will tour with Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder and Kaitlin Butts, along with up-and-comers Cole Goodwin, Owen Riegling and the Mountain Grass Unit on select dates. Tickets go on sale next Friday, Feb. 20 at 10 a.m. local time at Dierks.com.
"'Off The Map' is a song about going to that place where you take a break from it for a little bit, whether it's a bar stool sipping something cold, or a back porch down a back road. I like to think that our shows are a place where our fans can go off the map for a few hours, and recharge the batteries," Bentley said. "The band and I are so excited about sharing the road with the one and only Ricky Skaggs, as well as with the other guys and girls on the shows with us this summer. They were all hand picked, as I am big fans of theirs. Can't wait to get out there and watch their shows before we get to go out and do our thing. Going to be some great on-stage collaborations this summer."

CD reviews
Despite his massive, continued success since the early '00s, Dierks Bentley seems like one of those Nashville artists that gets taken for granted. Consistently likable records and a minimum of personal drama will do that, but that lack of notoriety means he can just continue making the records he wants to make, like this one.
Bentley leans into the tropes of the genre, from cars in "Something Worth Fixing" to the ever-reliable beer song, "Cold Beer Can. ...
Dierks Bentley opens his first self-produced album with a song about personally stability, "Same Ol' Me." 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.
