Dierks Bentley, Home – After exploring traditional bluegrass on 2010’s critically acclaimed album Up on the Ridge, it seems that the 36-year-old Arizona native is ready to be back on top of the mainstream country charts. That would explain the easy appeal and Nashville-friendly arrangements of Home, out today. But we’re not saying Dierks’ new tunes are any less rich. We know from first single “Home” (video below), as well as album closer “Thinking of You,” that he’s embraced his relatively new role as a family man. The curly-headed, raspy-voiced crooner still shows a bit of wild side, too, as evidenced on opener “Am I the Only One” and the likely future single “5-1-5-0.” You’ll even hear a few traces of the bluegrass sound from the last album – the genre obviously has a permanent place in Dierks’ heart.Various artists, The Music Inside: A Collaboration Dedicated to Waylon Jennings, Volume II – As if a major album release isn’t enough, Dierks Bentley also pops up performing the opening song on the second tribute album for Ol’ Waylon – he does a cover of “Lonesome, On’ry and Mean.” Other highlights of the new collection honoring the late country outlaw legend: Montgomery Gentry try on the Dukes of Hazzard theme for size, Texas troubadour Pat Green sings the praises of a “Rainy Day Woman,” and rodeo sweetheart Jewel brings the goosebumps on “Dreaming My Dreams With You.” Overall, this is a much more reverent, enjoyable album than many of the slapdash tribute collections you see hitting the shelves and music sites.
Lionel Richie and Shania Twain, “Endless Love” – The silky-smooth-voiced pop legend re-imagines several of his hits as duets with today’s top country artists on the upcoming album Tuskegee, hitting stores in March. This is the first single, in which the newly confident Twain continues her return after a long vocal hiatus. Sounds pretty good, but we can’t wait for you to hear Richie’s duet with Blake Shelton on “You Are.” Shelton continues to impress with his versatility. Jason Aldean on “Say You, Say Me”? Eh, not so much.
Mark Lanegan Band, Blues Funeral –A gritty new collection from the Washington State blues-rock act.
Various artists, Hearts Across Texas – Just in time for Valentine’s, we’ve got a grouping of romantic tracks from some of Texas country’s best. Jack Ingram, Josh Abbott Band, Kevin Fowler, Chris Knight and Roger Creager all make the cut.
Ben Kweller, Go Fly a Kite – Speaking of artists in the Lone Star State, the one-time indie-rock sensation is back with his fifth solo album. Although it’s not as decidedly country as 2009’s Changing Horses, it incorporates many of Kweller’s different influences into several solid pop ditties.
The Fray, Scars and Stories – Moving and melodic are apt words to describe this popular Denver pop-rock band fronted by the drippy-voiced frontman Isaac Slade. If you like to have a good, ballad-assisted cry every now and then, check out the band’s new record.
