Bentley serves up "Country and Cold Cans" EP, tour
"We thought we'd celebrate the end of summer and back to school with an EP of new material that's about cutting loose...it was really inspired by how young and crazy the fans on the Country & Cold Cans Tour were earlier this year," said Bentley. "I've written a lot with Jaren, and we thought it would be fun to get the guys in my band and a couple of cases of beer and go see what happens in the studio. I'm really happy with the tracks, and I think our crowd will dig it."
Songs on the EP are:
1. Country & Cold Cans
2. Grab A Beer
3. Back Porch
4. Summer On Fire
Produced by Jaren Johnston, the EP was inspired by the crowd-favorite title track and tour by the same name that recently wrapped legs in the U.S., Canada and Australia.
With the help of college students, Bentley will kick tailgating season off at three SEC campuses to celebrate the new music in a limited Country and Cold Cans Back to College Tour with special guest The Cadillac Black.
The tour begins at The University of Georgia (Aug. 20) and continues to The University of South Carolina (Aug. 21) and culminates in The Grove at The University of Mississippi (Aug. 22). Tickets are available to fan club members beginning today and the general public on Friday beginning at 19 a.m. eastern. For ticket information visit Dierks.com.

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.
