Dierks Bentley - Feel That Fire

“Both a Grand Ole Opry member and a U2 fan, Dierks Bentley is the epitome of the modern country star, and his star is on the rise. His exceptional new album has plenty of sex and señoritas, but also a higher calling on the uplifting “It’s a Beautiful World,” a duet with Patti Griffin. The title cut and first single is an accurate portrayal of a complex woman’s psyche, while “I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes” finds Bentley growling his way through a welcome advance. “I Can’t Forget Her,” with its decidedly Southwestern feel and fine storytelling, would make Marty Robbins proud. “Last Call” with Ronnie McCoury is a rollicking bluegrass romp, and “Here She Comes” is a high-octane burner a la Garth Brooks’ “Ain’t Going Down (Til the Sun Come Up).” —Ken Tucker”

Dierks Bentley feat Sarah Buxton - Sweet & Wild

This song is tearing up the country stations, and it’s easy to see why. Great combo, although I’d like to hear more from Sarah Buxton. I had never heard of her until this track, but she’s gorgeous with a voice to match. Dierks is back with another hit.

PS – Yummy
