Biography
With the Feb. 3 release of Feel That Fire, a 12-song serving of rockers and ballads with a dash of honky-tonk and bluegrass, showcasing more than two years writing, road testing and recording new material. Two songs from his latest album, "Feel that Fire" and "Sideways" have both hit No. 1 on the charts. It is all fire and passion that Bentley and co-producers Brett Beavers and Luke Wooten claim has driven the entire process from the moment the first song was conceived to the sleepless nights spent imagining creative ways to perfect the on-stage delivery. After selling almost 5 million copies of his previous three studio albums, which included 10 top-10 singles and seven No. 1 hits — most country artists with comparable achievements would be reluctant to veer off a proven hit-making path. Bentley is the exception. He shuns the comfort zone and welcomes the risk of what he refers to as "almost bringing the element of failure back into the mix." For Bentley, Feel That Fire is about the passion of the moment. "As a songwriter and a human being, I want to experience all that I can in this one life we are given...it's all about moving forward but remembering where you came from...the best music is made in the journey." And with Feel That Fire, Bentley continues to engage all types of fans with sounds ranging from arena-sized electric guitars to upright bass and banjos on steroids.
