Dierks Bentley Stays Up Late for Conan O'Brien

Dierks BentleyIf you didn't make it up late last night to catch Dierks Bentley on The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien, I understand. People have things to do and beauty rest to get. Still, it was really worth watching. Especially because it seems like O'Brien's camera man is a bit of a hardcore country fan. I am basing that assumption on the five very extreme close-ups of Tim Sergent's hands working his magic on the steel guitar behind Bentley. Looked cool, sounded even cooler. And Bentley himself sounded better than ever, making an intimate song like "I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes" feel just right for late night TV. If you like Ellen Page and Kevin Nealon, by all means watch the whole episode. But if Bentley's all you want, slide the bar down to about 39 minutes into the show.

    He can just stand around and merely exist and looks uber-cool doing it. And his music is pretty darn good, too!

    I’d say Dierks has one of the best voices in country music today.
