That's what Michael Whitworth is doing, and making it look easy at that.  He's one of the most talented singer/songwriter to come out of  "The Classic City" in some time, and he's also got a stable full of songs he's got ready to share with the world.

His new CD, God Only Knew is a compilation of  songs that will take you on a trip, and leave you wanting more.  The multi-talented artist plays pretty much every instrument, and he shows his vocal chops on a couple of tracks on the album as well.

“This record was an absolute joy to write and record,” Michael said. “I really just wanted it to be fun and lighthearted, to hopefully communicate the love and laughter that fills my life.” - Michael Whitworth

We've finally gotten our Independent country radio station on the air and live playing the best independent  country in the world. You'll hear the best of the best, and those that are just about to hit it big.  We started out as an independent station, so trust us we know what we're doing

In the current state of country music the songs that heavily rotate on radio stations across the United States and climb to the top of the charts are frequently sprinkled with a touch of pop, rock or even a techno beat occasionally. In spite of the way the genre has fluctuated and transformed in the last few decades, Dierks Bentley was not afraid to immerse himself into his more traditional roots and create an album that incorporated a large dose of bluegrass.

His fifth studio album 'Up On the Ridge' garnered major critical acclaim, positive fan reception and most radio stations readily accepted the leadoff single into their present catalog. Now, Bentley is

returning to bestow a second helping of his authentic, down-home Southern music with the new single 'Draw Me a Map'.

Written by Dierks Bentley and Ron Randall Stewart and featuring a vocal cameo from Alison Krauss, 'Draw Me a Map' is a pensive and tender ballad that at times turns into a bit of a mid-tempo. The lyrics focus on the classic storyline of a man who let the right woman slip away. He appears to be sincerely apologetic and wants to win her back, but he is completely at a loss as where to start.

Though the tale is one that has been told many times before, the subtle delivery and ability to embrace simplicity give 'Draw Me a Map' a special and effervescent quality. Dierks Bentley provides a pure and touching vocal that is laced with genuine emotion and Alison Krauss appears at the chorus with her signature crystal clear, sweet and haunting tone to create a beautiful blend.

With 'Draw Me a Map' Dierks Bentley has placed artistry over popularity and created a truly grand tune that wonderfully weaves modern music with old-fashioned charm.

Dierks Bentley "Draw Me A Map" Lyrics

Staring deep into your eyes
Searching for answers to questions I can't find
If I took for granted that I held your heart
I'd beg forgiveness but I don't know where to start

Draw me a map that leads me back to you
I don't know where to go, please tell me what to do
Help me find the road you're on
I just need directions home
Draw me a map that leads me back to you

I've never been so at loss
I'm at a canyon I can't get around or cross
So baby come down here, lay by my side
And tell me love's not lost across the great divide

Draw me a map that leads me back to you
I don't know where to go, please tell me what to do
Help me find the road you're on
I just need directions home
Draw me a map that leads me back to you

You're my destiny and destination
Understand my desperation - you
The only place I wanna be
So get us back to you and me

Draw me a map that leads me back to you
I don't know where to go, please tell me what to do
Help me find the road you're on
I just need directions home
Draw me a map that leads me back to you
