Dierks Bentley expands ‘Broken Branches’

Broken Branches Extended drops this week

Dierks Bentley will expand his 11th studio album with Broken Branches Extended on Friday, October 3rd via Capitol Nashville. Bentley continues to grow his signature blend of against-the-grain creative courage, offering two brand new tracks, including the rowdy standout “IYKYK” and the driving, dobro-laced “All Night to Figure It Out.”

The punchy foot-stomper “IYKYK” comes out swinging with a spirited mandolin riff, courtesy of Charlie Worsham, that hits like a honky tonk anthem on overdrive. With lyrical nods to fiddle, steel guitar, Natty Light, and Friday nights, Bentley leans into a defiant celebration of the country way of life—one that doesn’t need explaining if you already live it. Meanwhile, “All Night to Figure It Out” sets the acoustic mood for a little romantic research. Burning with slow-grooving, stomp-and-clap desire, the dobro-drenched jangle rocker features a loose, casual sway, with Bentley’s easy vocal in no hurry for the moment to end.

The two new tracks join the album’s original 11, with a cross-generational lineup of collaborators, including John Anderson, Riley Green, Miranda Lambert, and Stephen Wilson Jr.
