iser,

the latest album from Dierks Bentley, is being lauded for its collection of mid-tempo tunes and ballads that finds the Country singer digging deeper emotionally than ever before — a direction inspired largely by the death of his father two years ago and the recent birth of his first son.

Dierks Bentley plays Friday at Riverbend Music Center. Tickets/more info: riverbend.org.
