From that moment on, Dierks’ career took off like a rocket, releasing his second album Modern Day Drifter in 2005. which spawned two number one singles, “Come a Little Closer” and “Settle for a Slowdown.” It was with that album that the “Lot’s of Leavin’ Left to Do” singer took home the CMA Horizon Award in 2005.
Since then we’ve been graced with albums, Long Trip Alone, Feel That Fire, Up on the Ridge, Home, Riser, Black, and The Mountain. And in 2021, Dierks even gave us Live From Telluride, an EP that contains songs from his performance at the 48th annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
