We listen to such a wide variety of music, that we thought we'd put together a little playlist for you of the Top Ten Songs that we are listening to for March (or at least this week). Some you probably know, some you might not. Let us know what you are listening to by leaving a comment and you'll be entered for a chance to win a copy of The Outsiders. 1. Riser by Dierks Bentley Yes, the entire album because it's that good. Not a skipper on there. Dierks best work to date, proving that thought provoking, emotional, heartfelt country music can still be made. 2. "Roller Coaster" by Eric Church The Outsiders is a roller coaster ride of sounds, but right now this song is the ride we don't want to get off. 3. "Dogwood" by Whiskey Myers These guys put out their solid third album Early Morning Shakes in February. Even though all the tracks are great, this gem about where the guys are from is a highlight and a good song to start with if you're new to their music. 4. "Every Step of The Way" by Reckless Kelly Their current single from Long Night Moon. Plain and simple good stuff. 5. "Little Bit More of You" by Adam Craig We love this new single that can be heard currently on Sirius XM as a Highway Find. 6. "Say My Name" by Codie Prevost. His "All Kinds of Crazy" is a great listen, but this song is an infectious up-tempo sing along. Try not to like it. 7. "Satellite" by Randy Rogers Band They just released this song last Tuesday, but it's already been added to the regular rotation. Never a bad song from them. 8. "Little Too Late" by Zane Williams 9. "The Highway" by Holly Williams. The album was released last year, but we are finally hearing this song on, of course, The Highway on Sirius XM. 10. "Dust" by Eli Young Band With his seventh studio album RISER, award-winning singer/songwriter Dierks Bentley has earned the No. one position on the Billboard Country Albums chart this week. RISER also marks his fifth career debut in the top spot on the country charts. While USA Today awarded thealbum four out of four stars, critics across the country also chimed in to praise RISER for its depth and artistry with the Washington Post commending the singer/songwriter for “excelling outside the bro-zone.” "On his latest, Riser, Dierks Bentley again elevates himself above the rest of the country pack." - People “The chiming guitars and slow-boiling melodies add a simmering passion to Bentley’s distinctive vocal and writing style…the singer/songwriter continues to bring a much needed heft to country music." - Associated Press "Dierks Bentley is here to save country music." - Washington Times “...revitalizes country music on his greatest album yet.” – Country Weekly “Dierks Bentley has built impressive success-- 10 number one songs-- on bedrock concepts that feel more quaint all the time: musicianship, emotional integrity, and hard work. Those elements again make themselves known on his stirring seventh album 'Riser.'” – Boston Globe "Bentley bares his soul in meditations on love and loss, death and rebirth." – USA Today This whole album is not Nashville conveyor belt country, and nor is it just chasing hit singles. It is a bunch of the most personal and emotion-filled songs of Dierks' career to date.” – Maverick Up next, Bentley will head across the Atlantic for shows at Dublin and London’s O2 arenas (3/14 and 3/15) before launching his 2014 RISER TOUR on May 9 in Charlotte, NC. Fans can catch Bentley take the stage for CMT Crossroads: OneRepublic and Dierks Bentley airing March 21 at 9:00P CT on CMT.
