Dierks Bentlet Shares Inspiration for “Riser” Video

Dierks Bentley has had an awesome year on the country charts. It doesn't look like he's slowing down anytime soon either, because his latest single "Riser" might be one of his best.

Over the Labor Day weekend Dierks released the, all black and white, video to "Riser." The story we see play out in front of us isn't just a quickly put together music video. Dierks was inspired by a story he saw on the TV show "60 Minutes." The segment followed families living out of their cars, one story in-particular stuck out to him.

The video follows Amy Thomas and her family. As the video beings you hear Amy saying "What are we going to do? Where are we going to go? It's just us." Dierks says he wanted the "video to reflect the risers among us, so it was important to me that the storyline follow something real."
