Dierks Bentley (CD)

Born in Phoenix, boarding school-educated Dierks Bentley moved to Nashville in 1994 to attend Vanderbilt University, but soon abandoned his book-learning in favor of paying his musical dues in Nashville's many clubs. Bentley gradually won over audiences with his classic sound that echoed country's honky tonk past. He was signed to Capitol Nashville in 2003, has scored several hit singles, and in 2005 became the youngest member of the Grand Ole Opry at the time.

Though the front cover of country singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley's debut album finds him posing with a floppy-eared dog and looking like a prime-time TV star, he's considerably hipper than that image might suggest. For one thing, he doesn't employ the members of the Nashville studio mafia who seem to crop up on virtually every major-label country album. For another, he's no pre-fab artist; he co-wrote almost every song here, and for outside material he turned to estimable country mavericks Buddy & Julie Miller ("My Love Will Follow You"). The production is kept agreeably low-key, and there are no Journey-with-steel-guitar power ballad abominations. Bentley shows his true colors most plainly at the album's end, closing with a self-penned bluegrass-flavored tune where he's backed by none other than the legendary Del McCoury Band. Let's see how that one plays on CMT.
