My dad and grandpa were in the army and as a country singer youre constantly playing at military bases all across the country and meeting soldiers and their families and hearing their stories. – Dierks Bentley
I try to make an album that reflects what I love about country music. Its not just all about happy parties all the time. There are some sad songs. – Dierks Bentley
Im part of the party, getting the crowd fired up, singing songs, pouring drinks, whatever it takes to get them to have a good time. When I walk into the meet-and-greet, someones always going to have a story, a sad story or a happy story. – Dierks Bentley
But as far as being an American and loving this country and getting a chance to travel across it every day and meeting people on the road and folks in the military, I love this country on so many different levels. – Dierks Bentley
