Dierks Bentley Goes Up On A Ridge This Week
. "I set out to make an album that wasn't defined by genre and did my best to break down what people's preconceptions were about what 'bluegrass' music can sound like," explains Bentley. "It's so awesome to see the single hit the Top 30 and climb up the country radio charts and to see fans get really excited about a fresh sound. I didn't know what the reception would be...I just set out to make a great album. I couldn't be prouder of the outcome...the whole process has been magical." Much more than just a bluegrass concept album, the new disc features Bentley working with some of the finest acoustic musicians in the world. Bentley penned five of the album's 12 tracks and artfully covered songs by such unlikely sources as Bob Dylan and U2. The award winning singer/songwriter also collaborated with musical heavyweights Alison Krauss, Kris Kristofferson, Sam Bush, Vince Gill, Miranda Lambert, Jamey Johnson and bluegrass legend Del McCoury for the album. Working with an award-winning singer/songwriter/producer Jon Randall Stewart and world-class recording engineer Gary Paczosa, Bentley has crafted an album with rooted familiarity as well as big surprises.
