SEXIEST DIERKS BENTLEY OF HIS CAREER

DIERKS BENTLEY SHINES WITH THE RELEASE OF “BLACK” TODAY,
HAILED AS THE “SEXIEST SONG OF HIS CAREER”

Four-Time CMA Nominee Sets Double Date With ABC
Performing on All Access Nashville: Celebrating the CMA Awards with Robin Roberts Tonight
and Good Morning America Wednesday Live from Downtown Nashville

NASHVILLE,
TN – Oct. 31, 2016 – Multi-PLATINUM singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley
released the title track from his critically acclaimed album BLACK
(Capitol Records Nashville) today. Written by Bentley, Ross Copperman
and Ashley Gorley, “Black” has been called one of “the sexiest songs of
his career” by the Associated Press and Rolling Stone and is applauded for being “rich with detailed lyrics only made even more vivid by Bentley’s rasp” (Esquire).

“It’s
no secret that this record is named after my wife, and she was both
brave and generous to let me write about our relationship as the
foundation of a lot of these songs,” said Bentley. “I’ve talked about
how it explores some of the darker corners and edges of the heart, what
happens in the black of night, and this song was really central to
forming the rest of the project. It’s probably not what Cass expected
when I told her I’d written a love song and named it after her, it’s
more of an in-the-moment love song.”

The
four-time CMA nominee will make the television premiere of the steamy
new single “Black” live from Nashville on Wednesday during Good Morning America (ABC at 8:30A local time on 11/2). Tonight (10/31), Bentley will also perform on ABC’s Primetime special All Access Nashville: Celebrating the CMA Awards with Robin Roberts (ABC at 9:00P CST on 10/31) in front of a live audience at Nashville’s Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. 

“We
can always count on him to contribute some emotionally deft ballads and
subtle bluegrass touches alongside the alcohol-fueled rousers,” Music Aficionado
promises as it lists BLACK as one of the “10 Country Albums from 2016
You Need to be Listening To.” Its sultry new single exposes an
“all-consuming love as if it weren’t so different from a black hole” (People)
and perfectly illustrates Bentley’s dexterity as an artist as the new
track follows two consecutive No. One hits, the GOLD certified
“Different for Girls” (featuring Elle King) and the multi-week PLATINUM
No. One song of the summer “Somewhere On A Beach.” Bentley shows his
depth and diversity as an artist with four CMA nominations in the Male Vocalist of the Year, Album of The Year, Vocal Event of the Year and Video of the Year categories. “The  bluegrass  picker,  the  love  song  singer  and  the stadium rocker all packaged together” (Associated Press)
has been a Grand Ole Opry member for over a decade and just wrapped the
last leg off his headlining 2016 SOMEWHERE ON A BEACH TOUR selling out
amphitheaters and venues throughout the country. He also recently
announced his 2017 WHAT THE HELL WORLD TOUR launching Jan. 19 in Dayton,
OH, with Cole Swindell and Jon Pardi. For more information and a full
