From his barnstorming 2003 debut album onward, Dierks Bentley's broad tour of country has encompassed everything from bluegrass to big pop ballads. He has effortlessly turned the corner between the anthemic rock of “I Hold On” and the fiddle-fuelled “What Was I Thinkin'" and steered from the tenderhearted duet “Different for Girls” into the loopy, lighthearted “Drunk On a Plane". Throughout, Bentley always manages to sound like the guy on the next barstool unspooling his stories.
