Dierks Bently Predicts Miranda Lambert Will Win Album Of The Year
Nice article on the examiner.com website where Dierks Bently talks about making his latest album "Up on the Ridge," a heavily bluegrass influenced record. He recalled going to Nashville's famed Station Inn every week and catching the great bluegrass performers there. When he decided to make this record he felt like it was far enough out of the mainstream that it allowed him more freedom.
"I went into it with no expectations, that's what freed me up to make the kind of record we wanted to make. So, the back side of that to have country radio play the song, see the video on CMT and GAC, and then to be recognized by the CMA for making a record that leans on the bluegrass side of things, there's not a lot of words for it.
While he is blown away by the reaction to the record, he still doesn't seem to have much faith that it can take the top Album honor on the CMAs.
"I'm still taking it all in, and the Album of the Year [nomination], I'll be enjoying that right up until the moment they announce Miranda Lambert's name," he added with a laugh.
