Riser

Dierks Bentley

Gravelly baritone vocals meet atmospheric, reverb-heavy production. A resilient record that balances stadium-sized country hooks with deep, mountain-air isolation.

A resilient, heavy-hearted climb through grief toward a hard-won sense of peace.

Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting, atmospheric background vocals from Kacey Musgraves on Bourbon in Kentucky that make the track feel like a ghost story.
The driving, percussive build of the title track that mimics the steady, difficult climb of a survivor.
The jarring shift from the somber Here on Earth into the rowdy, self-deprecating humor of Drunk on a Plane.
