Dierks Bentley - Long Trip Alone

Dierks Bentley has maintained fierce career momentum, earning awards, packing concerts, and joining the Grand Ole Opry in the space of just over a year.

On Long Trip Alone he continues to flawlessly integrate straight-ahead, unforced vocals into a riproaring sound, underpinned this time by the solid, appealing mainstream acoustic bluegrass of touring partners the Grascals.

The opening track, Every Mile a Memory, defines the album's direction, buttressed by the witty That Don't Make It Easy Loving Me. He projects clarity and desperation on Trying to Stop Your Leaving, enhanced by an understated, yet appropriately tense arrangement. Band of Brothers celebrates the quintessential travails of musicians playing the low end of the honky-tonk circuit.
