Dierks Bentley is releasing his new Feel That Fire album on Tuesday, and he’s hoping to ignite sales with an unprecedented move: For one day only, he’s selling the CD (digital only) on amazon.com for a mere $3.99. Only Tuesday, Feb. 3!It’s a move that underscores Dierks’ sensitivity toward his fans. He engaged them last year in allowing 3,000 people to have input on the song selection and album artwork for Greatest Hits//Every Mile A Memory 2003-2008. Now he’s making his new album inexpensive at a time when those same fans are hurting financially.
Feel That Fire is spawning a lot of blazing clichés this week, and all of them are right! This is one hot CD that is going to go places – read that up! Dierks has said he wanted to stay in the moment, as well as have fun. He’s done it with style and grace. Style with the Warren Brothers in the title cut, grace with the incomparable Patti Griffin in Beautiful World, Better Believer, co-written with Rivers Rutherford, and Pray, written with Rodney Crowell. For fun you can’t beat Sideways and Here She Comes. My favorite today is I Wanna Close Your Eyes, but tomorrow it may change to that motorcycle revving Life on the Run with Mike McCready (Pearl Jam). You may remember McCready’s previous contribution with Bentley on Distant Shore on his first CD. Feel that Fire? You bet. Get yours today.
