Dierks Bentley is to me more of a guitar man than just a country singer. He crosses the country and pop line and steams it up big time in a sexy and romantic "Come a Little Closer".

In this album Dierks mixes some beer drinking bar songs and I love listening the soft melodies from his... Read full review »

Pros Some great songs, appearances by the Del McCoury Band & Alison Krauss, and no pop-country.
Cons Features some unimpressive lyrics, has more of a commercial vibe than anything he's...
Recommended it? Yes
