Bentley's "Black" goes vinyl
Thursday, July 28, 2016 – Dierks Bentley's "Black" will be released on vinyl on Aug. 12, it was announced today.
Bentley scored a hit with the single "Somewhere On A Beach." The new single is "Different For Girls," featuring Elle King.
"When we created this album, I kept imagining the flow of this record being told with an 'A' side and 'B' side," said Bentley. "We've released vinyl before, but I've never had the chance to really master it properly and didn't really put the time in before that it deserved. With 'Black,' every little detail has mattered to me...Sterling Sound in New York really gave the mix a warmth that you don't hear on MP3 or CD, and I can't wait for fans to hear the whole album this way."

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.
