Bentley releases new single today
"We just kicked off the Jager Tour this past weekend, and the song is already killing it out there," said Bentley. "The fans are singing the second and third choruses with fists in the air. I decided to stage dive Saturday night and by Sunday night in Pittsburgh the fans were crowd surfing before I even hit the stage. They haven't been shy about letting me know that I'm not the 'only one.' We recorded a lot of fun, uptempo songs for the new record, so we're going to be rocking the whole year."
Written by Bentley, Jim Beavers and Jon Randall, the new song was recorded at Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, N.C., where Bentley and the other musicians lived and recorded 15 songs for the new project in 5 days. More than 35,000 fans tuned in and streamed the recording process that Bentley made available to them through a 24-hour web cam.
Bentley's next CD will be out later this year, although no release date has been set.
Bentley will debut the song on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno next Tuesday, March 29. He will also perform the new song the following day on CBS' The Talk and the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards live from Las Vegas on Sunday, April 3 where he is nominated for "Album of the Year."
Bentley is headlining the 30-city 2011 Jagermeister Country Tour, which treks to Lewiston, Maine, Poughkeepsie, N.Y., Reading, Pa. and Westbury, N.Y. this week. The tour runs through mid-May and features special guest Josh Thompson and Miss Willie Brown.

CD reviews for Dierks Bentley
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. 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. 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.
