Dierks Bentley Streaming New Album Riser Online

02/21/2014
. (Radio.com) Dierks Bentley has repeatedly dubbed his forthcoming album, Riser, as his "most personal album." Less than a week before the album's release, on Feb. 25, fans can get an exclusive first listen to the record on Rolling Stone.

The album kicks off with his duet with Kacey Musgraves, "Bourbon In Kentucky," which was released last summer. When the song didn't take off the way he hoped, he rethought the album.

"It's a pretty dark song," he told Rolling Stone. "I'm not afraid of trying things. It's a song I believe in, but it pushed the album release back about four months."

He added: "The record I had originally made, my dad was alive at the time and my wife and I had two kids. Life was stabilized," Bentley said. "And then all of a sudden my dad passed away. Then my wife got pregnant and my son was coming, which was just a whole mix of emotions for me." more on this story
