Dierks Bentley received a Star on the Music City Walk of Fame. He jokes that his career has peaked. But for him, what song put him on his career path “When I was 17 my buddy Jack Brown, played me two songs one was Hank Jr’s ‘Man To Man’ which totally blew all the circuits in my brain. One was Marty Stewart ‘That’s Country’. Those two songs back-to-back, just totally, I just can even describe the certainty of knowing what I wanted to do.” So there were TWO songs and is it surprising at all that one of those was a Hank Jr song….
