Dierks Bentley Going Up On The Ridge
. His fifth Capitol Nashville studio project is steeped in the bluegrass and roots music that moved Bentley to become a country musician in the first place. The lead single and title track, inspired by time spent on a plot of land in rural Tennessee, will be released to country radio on April 12. Produced by Jon Randall Stewart and engineered by Gary Paczosa, UP ON THE RIDGE is a document of an artist who's using some well-earned freedom to write in a fresh vein and cook up collaborations with the musicians who fascinate him the most. Dozens of talents have contributed in some way to this project. Besides the five co-written by Bentley himself, the songs come from such varied sources as Bob Dylan, U2 and Kris Kristofferson. The monumental Kristofferson is here as a guest vocalist as well, along with a slate of today's best traditional country singers, including Alison Krauss, Vince Gill, Jamey Johnson and Miranda Lambert. And then there are the players, recruited from the top echelons of bluegrass and acoustic music. Among them: Chris Thile and the Punch Brothers, the Del McCoury Band, the legendary Sam Bush, dobro player Rob Ickes, guitarist Bryan Sutton, fiddler Stuart Duncan, and mandolinist Ronnie McCoury.
