Free Music Notes for Long Trip Alone
Free Music Review: FACM ( French Association of Country Music ) review
Hit: 4 Stars
This is Dierks Bentley's fourth album ( he had released one in 2001 entitled "Don't Leave me in Love") and once again, it is a pleasure listening to him. Indeed, Dierks has a very special voice, neither too deep nor too high-pitched; a very personal musical style which mixes bluegrass ( in the image of the song "Prodigal Son's Prayer" performed with the Grascals ), country rock with "Trying to Stop your Leaving", beautiful ballads such as "Long Trip Alone", etc... He has a very wide register and he gives a lot of depth of sound to his albums. Impossible to be bored. He's backed up by the best of musicians. Brett Beavers wrote a few songs for this album, but Dierks himself also did. The latter has this rhythm-breaking characteristic we can notice in "That don't Make it Easy Loving Me". There also are some instrumental solos ( steel guitar, banjo or electric guitar). In short, his album is very original and varied. His music falls within a joyful register with bouncy rhythms which will put each of us in good spirits. Dierks continues imposing his trademark, style and no doubt he will become a household name ( if he isn't already). Just let me tell you that a Live DVD should be released in 2007.

Free Music Review: First CD from Dierks
Hit: 4 Stars
The title track "Every Mile a Memory" made me want to hear more, and sure enough I wasn't disappointed!
The highlight would have to be "Can't Live It Down." There's that new edge to country music. He pleads that he has heck of a reputation, but he just can't live it down. He's only got one chance to live his life and he needs to live it while he's alive. You just can't waste time.
The sad tune "Long Trip Alone" tells that Dierks is living his life alone and he's going his own way. It compares life to a long journey on the road, which is the same deal as his other releases such as "Every Mile a Memory" and "Free and Easy."
There's intellegence in the track "The heaven I'm headed to". It says no matter what backround of life you have or where on Earth you've been, we've all got the chance to walk streets of gold once we're gone and away.
I can see why everybody seems to want to buy the recent comer Dierks Bentley's music. It's no wonder that it was one of the possible nominations for CMA's album of the year.
Free Music Review: It may not be his best - but it's DIERKS!!
Hit: 4 Stars
I'll admit there are other songs of his I like better, but it's DIERKS!! HOW can it be bad?? Instead of just going by a CD or 2, you know it's not the same as hearing him live. The truth of his voice, like some others, far outshines some of these "polished" established acts. For "the new country" folks coming up, IE: Dierks, Gretchen, Jason or Keith (Anderson) - THESE folks rip live!!! Dierks has a live DVD from here in San Francisco I KNOW is gonna be good. My friend (the KENNY fan) & I felt Gretchen "showed" better than Kenny @ his concert. As I say on my BLUES show, "If you don't support it LIVE, you won't hear it on the air!!" Any chance of seeing someone live keeps the opportunity to record going!! What happened to Pinmonkey & WHY don't we hear Shooter or HANK III anywhere??? Playin' & Lovin' it ALL!! DonnieFree Music Review: Dierks at his Best!
Hit: 4 Stars
I loved this cd! This is Dierks at his best and this is great country music!
The thing I love best about Dierks and this cd are the lyrics; whenever I am listening to "Long Trip Alone", I feel like I can relate to the lyrics and "adapt" them to my life. Whether I want to "rest beneath your smile" or if I "might be making me a reputation of going my own way"; I can really "feel" Dierks on the cd lyrically. "Hope For Me Yet" and "As Soon As You Can" are my favorite songs on "Long Trip Alone."
I highly recommend that everyone add this to their country music cd collection.
Free Music Review: Maybe its radios fault...
Hit: 4 Stars
I thought this album was good but far from great. I am not sure if its because I am so sick of hearing Long Trip Alone that I could rip what little hair I have out or because the album was too mellow but this album is on the "nice to have" list not the "need to have."
I do enjoy Free and Easy & Band of Brothers but I didn't find anything profound about this album. It wasn't bad, just not special.
