Dierks Bentley “Feel That Fire”

February 4th, 2009

Saying I was excited about hearing Dierks Bentley’s new album would be an understatement. I’ve been a Dierks fan for years, ever since I first saw him with Kenny Chesney back in 2004, but I became a Dierks lover last year after seeing his show a few times while he was in Florida. (His show is ROCKIN’!!) Anyway, I love me some Dierks…now let’s get on to the album.

The first 2 tracks, “Life On The Run” & “Sideways”, seriously make you feel like you’re at a Dierks show. They are everything I love about Dierks’ music & concerts – fast paced and fun! I have a good feeling “Sideways” is gonna be a single…it’s so much fun!

Of course we all love the title track “Feel That Fire.” Looks like Dierks is gonna score a #1 with that one!

After the first 3 songs, Dierks slows it down with “I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes.” This reminds me of “Come A Little Closer,” the token “let’s do it” song. It’s a great song and again, another potential single.

“Here She Comes” is another rockin’, fast paced song. I like the sound, but I don’t really understand what the song is about? Is it about a hot, bad ass chick? I’m confused. Maybe it’s because I’m blonde?

If I could go without a song on the album it would be “I Can’t Forget Her.” I just don’t like the sound, how they try to make it sound like a Spanish song…it’s just ok.

I like everything about “Beautiful World.” The message is great- we sometimes need to be reminded that the world isn’t just filled with hate, crime and terrorism. It really is a “Beautiful World” and sometimes we need to just step back and enjoy it.

I like the rest of the songs on the album too – but of the last couple, I really enjoyed “Pray.” It’s a great, raw, emotional song and I think we can all relate to that moment in a relationship when it’s just not working, and you know that it’s better if you go your separate ways. It’s sad, but so good.

Usually an album takes me a few days to warm up to, but I liked this one the first time around. It’s been a long two years, but it was worth the wait. “Feel That Fire” is awesome!

Go out and get a copy, you will not be disappointed!

In case you missed yesterday’s $3.99 deal on Amazon, you can still purchase the album for under 10 bucks!
