Bentley opts for the moonshine
At the stawrt of Bentley's Riser tour tonight in Charlotte, NC, the moonshine maker will provide a tailgate party for fans in a throwback 1920's style saloon with a modern country vibe featuring Ole Smoky drinks, music and specialty merchandise at participating venues.
"When I first moved to Nashville, I lived down at the Station Inn and really dove head first into the bluegrass community...I used to beg my way into pickin parties with those guys because I was eaten up with that sound and that lifestyle. And when you surround yourself with banjos and fiddles, there's bound to be some shine there too," said Bentley. "All of that influenced who I am and the music I make today. Ole Smoky is a great partner for me and my fans out on the Riser tour this year...they're going to help us get the party started early out in the parking lot and set the tone for a rowdy night."
"We are thrilled to be launching our partnership with Dierks Bentley as he starts the Riser tour," said Joe Baker, founder of Ole Smoky Moonshine. "Just like Ole Smoky, the tour is about bringing people together who love country music and having fun. We can't wait to see the fans dancing, laughing and sharing their stories over our moonshine."

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.
