Bentley’s “Most Affecting Song” Marks Back-to-Back Chart Toppers
From
Critically Acclaimed Album THE MOUNTAIN
2019
BURNING MAN TOUR Continues to “Take Fans On A Wild Ride”
as it
Treks from Canada to U.S. This Week
NASHVILLE,
TN - Jan. 28, 2019 - Multi-Platinum singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley earned his 18th No.
One single with “Burning Man” (featuring Brothers
Osborne) as the fiery-but-reflective track topped the Mediabase/Country Aircheck singles charts this week. Serving as the
second consecutive chart topper from Bentley's ninth studio album THE MOUNTAIN, "his most affecting
song” (Rolling Stone) inspired his 2019
BURNING MAN TOUR that will continue with shows this week in Canada, before
returning stateside for the kickoff of the US leg on Thursday (1/31) in
Spokane, WA.
“I
felt an authentic connection to this song the first time I heard and my
attachment to it has only strengthened night after night as I watch our fans
connect with it. It is as much their song as it is mine...we all face that push
and pull of who we are as people. As always, I’m very grateful to Country Radio
for continuing to help share this journey.”
With
his "youthful, bluegrass-influenced angle on rocking country" (Vulture), Bentley is known to showcase
music "that resists Music Row’s standard-issue gloss" (New York Times). The
"scorching" (Esquire)
single is no exception and showcases how "Bentley releases the most
thoughtful, complete collections in Country music" (USA Today).
"Bentley’s
questioning of his relationship to the world and his place in it serves as a
through-line on such songs as the wistful 'Burning Man,' where he’s balancing
his fading youth with growing responsibilities." - Billboard
"A
high-water mark for Bentley – his most affecting song since 2015's magnificent
‘Riser.' 'Burning Man' builds on that ballad's theme of evolution, as Bentley
assesses his place in the world as a 40-something troubadour." - Rolling Stone
“A
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers-style rock song that ends with a banjo-guitar
breakdown.” - Associated Press
"The
title is a reference to the notorious Nevada desert festival, but the lyrics
act as a summation of Bentley’s appeal." - Kansas City Star
Bentley
"is always ready to take fans on a wild ride” (Washington Post) with his
“rowdy live show” (Rolling Stone) as his 2019 BURNING MAN TOUR "does not
disappoint” (Winnipeg Free Press) with special guests Jon Pardi, Tenille Townes
and the Hot Country Knights. He will roll through the West Coast ahead of
returning to Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena in February (2/22) where he made his
sold-out headlining debut in 2016.

Bentley
"has built a reputation as an authentic artist who often takes fearless
stylistic detours with his music" (Music Row) and continues to be a
dominant voice for the genre with over 8.6 billion overall digital streams.
Reaching a new creative high as a co-writer on 10 of 13 tracks off THE MOUNTAIN
(Capitol Records Nashville), Bentley earned the highest debut sales of his
career as the record now boasts over 245 million streams. Critics continue to
applaud his seventh chart-topping album as it was featured as one of “2018 Best
Albums” by Esquire, USA Today, Rolling Stone, The Tennessean and more, while it
was one of the only Country albums on Billboard’s all-genre year end list.
Bentley has amassed countless nominations from the ACMs, CMAs, Billboard Music
Awards and more, while earning 13 GRAMMY nominations. For more information,
