Dierks Bentley is set to release his highly anticipated album, Riser, on February 25th via Capitol Nashville.
 
Dierks tells Rolling Stone, "The record I had originally made, my dad was alive at the time and my wife and I had two kids. Life was stabilized. And then all of a sudden my dad passed away. Then my wife got pregnant and my son was coming, which was just a whole mix of emotions for me." These life events contributed to his "most real and personal album yet."

I remember being at an Eric Church show a little bit after Chief debuted as the number one Billboard album across all genres. He was elated and the high he was on could be felt throughout his entire set. One can only imagine how he is feeling now that he accomplished that feat again. His fourth studio album, The Outsiders, was the #1 Billboard album (both all genre and country) this week, selling 288,000 copies in the first week of release. This debut also surpassed his best sales week of Chief, which bowed at 145,000 units sold. The Outsiders was the biggest country debut since August of 2013 when Luke Bryan's Crash My Party debuted at #1. To read more visit here.
