Elle King is still fairly new to country music but definitely keeping busy.
She just had a sold-out show at the Ryman Auditorium last week.
Hiding in the wings was a special friend of hers that she called out for a special duet. It was Dierks Bentley.
She announced that they have a new song together! Its called Worth a shot. Here’s a bit of the song from a fan’s camera in the crowd.
They aren’t strangers, She had a song with Dierks called “Different for Girls,” back in 2016 off Bentley’s Black album. It was a No. 1 hit at country radio.
Watch for Elle King and Dierks to release worth a shot.
Jason Blaine’s new album, Diamonds In The Desert, came out at end of last week and is now available wherever you stream music!
He says “The goal of this record was to make a record that sounds like the music I love to listen to. A record where I really pulled from all of my musical heroes across genres and generations, that culminated into what I hope you’ll hear as something authentic and truly believable.
