Dierks Bentley has officially announced his 11th studio album, Broken Branches, set for release on June 13th Produced by John Randall and Ross Copperman, the album features collaborations with Riley Green, Stephen Wilson Jr., Miranda Lambert, and the legendary John Anderson.
Bentley shares: “The country music community has a lot of broken branches in it. That’s why we’re all here. We want to do something a little bit different, and I think everyone sees themselves like that—certainly in country. This is the people’s music, and it represents that spirit of individuality so well—it’s just about doing it our own way.”
The 11-track project includes also performances from standout musicians like Charlie Worsham, Jedd Hughes, Rob McNelley, and Bryan Sutton. Bentley co-wrote only four of the songs himself, and shares: “I think that’s what’s special about country—we’re still making music in the studio with our buddies. We’re still getting together, talking about the songs, and letting the musicians have a big say. It’s a good team—maybe a little messed up—but that’s the whole idea behind Broken Branches, so it just works.”
