Modern Day Drifter

Dierks Bentley

A restless blend of highway-ready rock and high-lonesome bluegrass. Gritty vocals meet the lonely hum of a truck cab on a cross-country run.

May 10, 2005 · Capitol Records Nashville

Find on Amazon

A restless, highway-worn meditation on the conflict between home and the horizon.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the pedal steel weeps behind the gravelly vulnerability of the title track
The sudden shift from driving rock energy to the intimate, breathy opening of Come a Little Closer
The authentic bluegrass breakdown that anchors the back half of the record
