| Dierks Bentley made his name as the drifter type, but lovin' and leavin' can't last. On Feel That Fire he's found the midpoint between mirth and mope, as characteristic country barn-burners like the screw-it-'n'-drink sing-along of ''Sideways'' mingle with themes of faith and fidelity to generate his most complete album yet. Credit Bentley's broad, crackly baritone, a voice that can do sentimental — as on richly arranged mash note ''You Hold Me Together'' — without losing an ounce of its outlaw energy. When this guy sings it, maturity doesn't sound so bad. A–...full text |

| After having established himself as one of contemporary country's most talented and consistent stars, Dierks Bentley suffers from a major letdown on his fourth studio album, Feel That Fire. Bentley's production job with Brett Beavers draws heavily from his rock-leaning influences—the album opens with the same engine-revving guitar effect used in Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love"—and is both polished and relatively distinctive, so the album doesn't sound like an artistic regression. Instead, it's the quality of Bentley's songwriting that has noticeably lapsed since 2006's excellent Long Trip Alone. From opener "Life on the Run" to the intimate ballad "I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes," Bentley has written nearly all of these songs before (those two are but lesser variations of his #1 hits "Free and Easy Down the Road I Go" and "Come a Little Closer"), and with far more personality and creativity. Bentley's never been the most expressive of vocalists, but he sounds flat-out bored on ostensible honky-tonk rave-up "Sideways," and his lack of affect does nothing to elevate a workmanlike, all-too-familiar cut like "I Can't Forget Her." Beyond the solid production, it's Bentley's collaborations that salvage the record. Patty Griffin provides a characteristically soulful vocal on "Beautiful World," and Rodney Crowell co-wrote "Pray," which is far and away the set's best-written song. Ronnie McCoury & Friends provide the bluegrass-inspired backing on the terrific album closer "Last Call," which boasts Bentley's most lived-in performance. Having good taste in collaborators and influences doesn't make up for how often Bentley repeats himself here though, and it isn't enough to keep Feel That Fire from being more than a tremendous disappointment....full text |

Dierks Bentley’s newest album, Feel That Fire, is scheduled for release in February of 2009. The up and coming Phoenix, Arizona native is one of country music’s brightest young male vocalists. Feel That Fire is Bentley’s fourth major studio album, and if his past successes with his album releases are any indication, he’s going to have some major success with this one as well. Of the first three albums, no album failed to peak lower than #4 on the US Country Album charts, and two were certified platinum. Perhaps the most attractive thing for most fans about Bentley is his predisposition for fun. His laid back and fun approach to his music puts him somewhere in between the relaxing Jimmy Buffett and the entertaining Kenny Chesney....full text |
