Its just Dierks Bentley with a bluegrass-ish tinge. In fact if they didn't market it as a "Bluegrass" album, it might have done better: at a minimum a few of the tracks on that album could have been radio hits if they were parts of "regular" albums instead of sold as "Bluegrass." The songs aren't any better than his typical radio fare, they are just different. I like both the radio-friendly Dierks and the Up On The Ridge Dierks. But they are both very good entertainment but nothing great or timeless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751253809510424451.post-36474792513720328472011-06-02T17:06:46.713-05:002011-06-02T17:06:46.713-05:00I heard Dirt Road Anthem on the radio the other da...I heard Dirt Road Anthem on the radio the other day and it just befouled my mood.

That album was a work of art and got limited air play, won no awards and had no hits. Has to be a little discouraging to go back in a studio after that one knowing how little country music "fans" appreciate country music.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2751253809510424451.post-63173094075615310972011-05-30T16:49:56.523-05:002011-05-30T16:49:56.523-05:00Dierks has so much potential but is poised to stay...Dierks has so much potential but is poised to stay right where he is. If festival life is where he's happy at, then so be it but its safe to assume that he'll never be more than he is today.On Top of the Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998854596575795465noreply@blogger.com
