current single: “AMERICAN GIRL” (from Petty Country tribute album)

Dierks Bentley has been enjoying a career in country music for almost 25 years, and even though his dad passed away 12 years ago (6/1/12), Dierks says it’s because of him and his influence that his career has even been possible.

Dierks Bentley – dad country music :10

“My dad was my biggest influence in country music because my dad loved country radio. So, we always drove around and listened to country radio – George Strait, Hank Williams, and Randy Travis and all these guys. So, without him, I wouldn’t be doing this, that’s for sure.”
