Black by Dierks Bentley Song Info
Black, the title track to Dierks eighth album Black was written for Dierks wife Cassidy. When speaking to The Boot, Dierks said this about the song: It was something I was thinking about for a long time, but I was cautious about wading into it, because I knew I wanted to write this song – the idea is about my wife. A lot of songs, you start with a good idea and it doesn’t work out, and you move on to the next thing. Or you tweak the title and try to write it with somebody else. But with “Black,” there’s only one “Black.” I can’t write “Blue;” that’s already been written. One important thing to note about the title of this song (and album) is that Dierks wife’s maiden name was “Black.”
