Dierks Bentley Covers Adele

Posted on by

Dierks Bentley Gives Adele’s Hit A Country Make-Over On CMT Unplugged. Dierks Bentley has a very specific bluegrass, country sound, but that doesn’t keep him from getting outside of the box every now and then. In a recent recording for CMT‘s Unplugged series, the talented country star gave a bit of a country music make-over to pop sensation Adele‘s hit single “Set Fire To The Rain“. He gives a very down to earth performance with a low key, but powerful emotional quality. I personally love it when country stars cover songs from other genres, but don’t take my word for it…watch it below. You can catch the remainder of the episode on Palladia (Saturday, June 2 at 9 p.m. ET), CMT (Monday, June 25 at 10 a.m. ET/PT) and CMT PURE (Monday, June 25 at 9 p.m. ET/PT). Other songs performed include “Home“, “Up On The Ridge” and “Am I The Only One“. Watch Dierks Bentley’s Countrified “Set Fire To The Rain“!

Taylor Swift and More Make It On Maxim’s Hot 100 List for 2012.

For 2012, we’re seeing a couple country stars including Taylor Swift (#26), Miley Cyrus (#68) and Kellie Pickler (#72). I for one am a little disappointed that Miranda Lambert didn’t make the cut, but I’m sure she could care less! What do you think? Who else belongs on the list?
