The 11-track record includes his current single, "She Hates Me," along with collaborations with four hitmakers. The four country superstars joining Bentley on Broken Branches are Riley Green, Miranda Lambert, Country Music Hall of Fame member John Anderson and Stephen Wilson, Jr.
"The country music community has a lot of broken branches in it. That's why we're all here," the Arizona native says of his new record "We want to do something a little bit different, and I think everyone sees themselves like that - certainly in country. This is the people's music, and it represents that spirit of individuality so well - it's just about doing it our own way."
The album name isn't much of a surprise. Earlier this year, Bentley announced his Broken Branches Tour, kicking off on May 29 in Austin, Texas. Zach Top is joining Bentley for all dates on the tour.
Everything We Know About The 'Broken Branches' Album
We already know that Green and Anderson join Bentley on the title track of Broken Branches. It is a fitting title track, according to Bentley.
"'Broken Branches' is the title track off the album," Bentley reveals. "My buddies John Anderson and Riley Green are on this track, and it's about how all of us in country music in some way, shape or different form, are broken branches. We're all black sheep of the family."
Wilson, Jr. co-wrote "Cold Beer Can" and "She Hates Me." Lambert joins Bentley on "Near You" from the record.
Bentley says Broken Branches, his 11th studio album, is what country music is, at least to him.
"This album represents what country music is to me," the 49-year-old writes. "A group of people and songs that come together in a way that's imperfect, individual, and sometimes even a little messed up. They're all a bunch of broken branches on one tree! My next track 'Well, Well Whiskey' drops this Friday in honor of the [announcement]."
