“With the aid of a band of peerless musicians, acclaimed producers and
generations of top-tier collaborators, he's linked country's roots to its
present in the most seamless and timeless-feeling manner possible.” – Tennessean
“On his eleventh LP, he examines what drives young people to do something as
crazy as move to Nashville and stake it all on the dream of being a
musician…while creating a distinctive and daring sound incorporating
traditional bluegrass and U2-style anthemic rock.” – Esquire
"Few artists in mainstream country music have their finger on the pulse
quite like Dierks Bentley." – Rolling Stone
“Dierks is the gold standard for roots-infused sounds in the mainstream. It’s
full of heart and commitment to his craft as a musician and a songwriter.”
– Country Central
"Mixing modern sonic muscle with the rootsy refinement of an artist who’s
seen it all... in different ways, each song sinks its teeth into the messy
truth of day-to-day life, but takes a step back to see the beauty of the forest,
not just a tangled bunch of trees. While country songwriters are often guilty
of going with the flow, Dierks Bentley has a habit of cutting against the
grain.” – American Songwriter
“A project that speaks to the country music community and the trusty outliers,
like the artist himself, who exist to shake things up from within. Sure to
leave listeners fully satiated rather than simply buzzed.” – Holler
It's a rocking good time, even when life's roads are bumpy, as evidenced
across the release—from the jukebox stomp of the title track to the rowdy 'She
Hates Me.'” – Associated Press
“Dierks Bentley Is in the 'Sweet Spot' of His Career.” – People
Magazine
"Dierks Bentley is embracing brokenness, imperfection In the best
way." – iHeart
"This is a classic Dierks Bentley album—full of meaning, humour, humanity
and heart. Built on reflection and resilience. Whether he's urging you to
laugh, cry, or raise a glass, Bentley reminds us that even the most broken
branches can still hold up the tree. 4.5 out of 5 stars.” – Entertainment
Focus
“A deeply personal, character-rich album that feels like a musical scrapbook… a
concise yet impactful listening experience, with standout collaborations that
span generations featuring Riley Green, Miranda Lambert, John Anderson, and
Stephen Wilson Jr... the album will be one of the top releases this
summer." – Country Chord
"Overall, Broken Branches is phenomenal from top to bottom. Each song
leads perfectly to the next and is unmistakably Dierks Bentley. 5 out of 5
stars." – Cryptic Rock
