Editorial Review:
Dierks Bentley’s debut album is a textbook case of the good things that can happen to a talented singer/songwriter who comes to Nashville and holds fast to his dream. Arriving from Phoenix at age 19, Bentley played the downtown clubs and allied himself with bluegrass musicians and commercial songwriters who loved country’s tradition, but modernized the form with rhythmic energy and contemporary lyrics. The result is an impressive debut that melds the attitude of honky tonk with the instrumentation of bluegrass (the Del McCoury band and Bryan Sutton guest), and establishes Bentley as a New Artist to Watch. Already the irresistible "What Was I Thinkin’," a breakneck story song with a plot line straight out of The Dukes of Hazzard, has topped the charts as the first debut single to reach number one in two years. But Bentley’s appeal runs far beyond a catchy novelty song, and his choice of originals and covers (Buddy and Julie Miller’s "My Love Will Follow You") add up to one of the year’s most memorable albums--just one more factor in country’s burgeoning swing back to tradition. --Alanna Nash
Dierks Bentley Reviews:
Almost makes me want to cry 
2008-09-03 - This cd is really good. I enjoy most of the songs. "How am I doin" and "what was I thinkin" were huge radio hits, and thus the reason I bought the album, but there are a few more songs that I have really enjoyed.
Better in person if that is possible 
2007-12-11 - It is so refreshing as a country music fan to hear someone sound country. This is an upbeat album and country to the core. He is a true fan of country music himself and he stays true to his roots with this cd.
I was a fan of Dierks since the first time I heard his songs. But after seeing him live, I had to buy some of his cd's for my collection. Him and his band are awsome live. I saw him open for Kenny Chesney and he blew me away. (Oh, and he is cuter in person if that is possible too!)
This boy can sing! His band is awsome, and this cd is just the begining for this guy.
I know what Dierks was thinkin'... this is a HIT!
2007-09-28 - Excellence. Pure excellence.
Buy this CD and go buy a concert ticket too. He's just awesome!
It's ok 
2006-04-08 - this is more country/pop. like faith hill is now or keith urban. If you want country country I suggest Gary Allan or Brad Paisley
Great Beginning.
2006-02-23 - It is obvious that this unique and gifted country singer will have a huge impact on c/w music. His strengths are in his ballads, for sure. The longing in his voice and a sexy and charasmatic persona. What more could you ask for?
