Bentley headlines Jager tour

Thursday, January 20, 2011 – Dierks Bentley is slated to headline the 2011 Jagermeister Country Tour starting March 17 in Connecticut. The 30-city tour runs through mid-May and will feature special guest Columbia Nashville singer Josh Thompson and new A&M/Octone duo Miss Willie Brown. Each concert will also feature a local Jagermeister sponsored country act.

Pre-sale tickets are available to fan club members through www.dierks.com, while the general public will be able to purchase tickets beginning Jan. 21 and Jan. 28 through Ticketmaster. The remaining cities will go on sale over the coming weeks.

"It's a good thing we've got a video crew on the road with us capturing everything that goes down," joked Bentley. "Putting my band, Josh Thompson, the Miss Willie Brown girls and a few thousand fans in a Jagermeister sponsored room with loud country music sounds like a pretty solid recipe for a great night."

Bentley is currently in Nashville working on material for his next album. Fans can expect the first single this spring and will be able to get glimpses of the recording process along the way through www.dierks.com. The new album will follow in the footsteps of Bentley's bluegrass-based "Up on the Ridge," which recently received three Grammy nominations

Thompson debuted last year with "Way Out Here." Thompson wrote or co-wrote all 10 tracks on the album including his current single, Won't Be Lonely Long, which follows previous hits "Way Out Here and Beer On The Table.

A&M/Octone's first country release is the female duo Miss Willie Brown, comprised of Amanda Watkins from West Virginia and Texas native Kasey Buckley. The two girls met in California waiting tables, instantly bonded over a deep love of country music and have been writing and singing together ever since. Now living in Nashville, the duo is recording their debut album with award winning producer Keith Stegall (Zac Brown Band, Alan Jackson) and will release the lead single in the coming months. Miss Willie Brown was the only unsigned band to ever perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

CD review - Gravel & Gold 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 ...
CD review - Black 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 ...
CD review - Riser 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. On the musical front, he traded long-time producer Brett Beavers, producer of every disc except "Up on the Ridge," for Ross Copperman, who has enjoyed more success as a writer, including several previous tracks for Bentley. Bentley embraces current trends in country ...
