Bentley shoots "The Moon"
Set to the track of "I'll Be The Moon" (featuring Maren Morris), Bentley teamed with longtime director Wes Edwards for the first episode. The modern day film noir establishes a love triangle guided by the destructive power of steamy secrets. iTunes will mirror the series by offering instant downloads of each episode's featured track from "Black."
"'I'll Be The Moon' is a pivotal part of the flow of this record and is where the storyline of the couple in this series begins," said Bentley. "We first recorded it just me, but the song looks at a relationship from a different angle, where the girl is instigating the deceit. So, I felt like it needed a female voice, and I started to hear it more as a duet. I love the perspective Maren adds, there's weight to her voice."
The lead single, "Somewhere On A Beach," is in the Top 10. For the first time, Bentley will co-host the 51st Annual ACM Awards this Sunday at 8 p.m. eastern on CBS. Bentley launches his 2016 Somewhere on a Beach Tour with Randy Houser, Cam and Tucker Beathard beginning May 12 in Holmdel, N.J.

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.
