Release Notes:

In the wake of 2005's Modern Day Drifter, Dierks Bentley has maintained
fierce career momentum, earning awards, packing concerts, and joining the
Grand Ole Opry in the space of just over a year. As before, he continues
to flawlessly integrate straight-ahead, unforced vocals into a riproaring
sound, underpinned this time by the solid, appealing mainstream acoustic
bluegrass of touring partners the Grascals. The opening track, "Every
Mile a Memory," defines the album's direction, buttressed by the witty
"That Don't Make It Easy Loving Me." He projects clarity and desperation
on "Trying to Stop Your Leaving," enhanced by an understated, yet
appropriately tense arrangement. "Band of Brothers" celebrates the
quintessential travails of musicians playing the low end of the
honky-tonk circuit, while his all-inclusive, courageous views on "The
Heaven I'm Headed To" may not please hardcore red-staters. The perpetual
debate pitting country modernists against traditionalists often reaches
the same levels of intensity as in current politics. Long Trip Alone
demonstrates the smartest solution: quality modern country of the moment
that simultaneously honors its past.
