Bentley goes "Home" for new CD
Bentley penned the new track with Dan Wilson and Brett Beavers. "One of the best parts of being a traveling musician is getting to meet people from all over the country and hear about what's happening in their lives and their towns...the struggles and the joys," said Bentley. "They're the inspiration for this song. The lyrics speak to the challenges we've had as a country, but hopefully the song leaves you feeling inspired and optimistic."
Bentley's sixth Capitol Nashville studio project is scheduled for release in early 2012 and has already scored the number one hit Am I The Only One.
Bentley's five previous albums have sold more than five million copies, earned 10 Grammy nominations and spawned eight chart topping hits.
Bentley will kick off the first leg of his "Country & Cold Cans" tour on Oct. 6 in LaCrosse, Wisc. with 22 dates running through November.

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."
