Dierks Bentley has released the second track from his next album, “Cold Beer Can,” a collaboration with co-writer Stephen Wilson Jr.
“Cold Beer Can” was written at a small writer’s camp in Nashville last year, with Bentley and Wilson getting assistance from Luke Dick and Jon Randall for the track. Bentley shared: “I was a really big fan of Stephen’s and asked him to jump in on some writes with me, and we ended up writing two songs that both made the new record. What I love about this song is that the title and idea seem like such familiar territory for country music, but when you actually dig into the lyrics of the song, it’s much more meaningful. I asked him to come in and lay down some acoustic guitar parts once we got in the studio, and he crushed it.”
Adds Wilson Jr: “There are some things that money just can’t buy. People crave an experience. Sometimes bartering is required. A fermented meeting ground perhaps. A cold beer can be a simple and affordable catalyst in the chemical and emotional reactions of this human life. Humans are looking for something to carry us on or bring us together.”
Bentley will also embark on the 2025 Broken Branches Tour, kicking off in Austin, Texas on May 29th and making stops in over 30 U.S. cities nationwide. Joining Bentley on tour is rising star Zach Top and newcomers, duo The Band Loula.
