Bentley goes crazy for number 1
Bentley takes over for Eli Young Band's Even If It Breaks Your Heart. The chart will be officially out on Thursday.
"I have to admit, it's been a 5150 kinda summer," said Bentley. "The tailgating before shows has been turned up a notch, and the fans are ready to get crazy. You can't ever take for granted the power of a fun, uptempo song that isn't meant for anything other than kicking off a party. I'll also never take for granted having 10 number 1 hits on country radio...those guys and the fans have given me an unbelievable career so far."
The song is the third consecutive chart-topping hit off Bentley's "Home." Fans can catch Bentley on E!'s new show "Opening Act" tonight at 10 p.m. eastern when he surprises Kylie Morgan, a 16-year-old singer/songwriter from Oklahoma. From country music's historic Grand Ole Opry, Bentley mentors the aspiring artist and helps her prepare to open a concert for fellow country artist Jason Aldean.

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.
