The new Dierks Bentley full studio album “Broken Branches” (Capitol Records Nashville) launched on June 13, 2025 featuring powerhouse collaborations with friends John Anderson, Riley Green, Stephen Wilson Jr. and Miranda Lambert.
There are eleven songs on the new album. Bentley chose a mix of tracks with deep meanings centered on the imperfect perfections of community spirit. Bentley co-wrote four tracks himself and secured seven from outside writers. Bentley dug deep into Nashville’s thriving songwriting community on this album. The album is available HERE. A beautiful translucent blue vinyl record is one option in the album store. “The country music community has a lot of broken branches in it. That’s why we’re all here,” Bentley explains.
“Broken Branches” became the anchor track as a grounded anthem with a mood-boosting stomp in honor of nature’s black sheep, featuring the living legend John Anderson and rising hit maker Riley Green. Others like “Cold Beer Can” shows a different way of looking at a frosty 12-oz. and the heartwarming banjo-led “Never You (feat. Miranda Lambert)” is a tribute to the essential companion in each life. Bentley returns to his bluegrass beginnings with the feverish “Well, Well Whiskey,” tracks like the propulsive acoustic jam “Something Worth Fixing” celebrate life as a work in progress, the grungy alt-country of “Jesus Loves Me” explores a heartbroken “gospel truth” and “Off the Map” looks to quietly escape a relentless reality –whether on the beach, or a barstool. Meanwhile, the blazing heart of “Standing in the Sun” burns with the simple, life-giving power of true romance, while “For as Long as I Can Remember” tributes the Sequoia-like shelter a father provides and “Don’t Cry for Me” brings the project full-circle.
The multi-Platinum superstar recently released the biggest debuting song of his career with BROKEN BRANCHES’ debut single “She Hates Me.” He counts eight Number One albums, 22 Number One songs, and over nine billion global streams to his credit –plus 15 Grammy nominations and membership in the historic Grand Ole Opry. Bentley launched his 30-city BROKEN BRANCHES TOUR on May 29 with Zach Top and The Band Loula. Continuing the path built from the ground up, as an entrepreneur, he has opened four locations of the gastropub and live music venue “Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row,” has a Flag & Anthem lifestyle collection “Desert Son” and recently released ROW 94 –a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey crafted with only “three ingredients and the truth” at Kentucky’s Green River Distilling Co.
