Video: Dierks Performs "Senor" on The Ellen Show

We told you Dierks Bentley was a part of the new album "Chimes of Freedom" honoring the 50th anniversary of Amnesty International.  Dierks and his buddies from the Up On The Ridge album, The Punch Brothers, performed the Bob Dylan song, "Señor," on The Ellen show today. This makes DB's second appearance in just 4 weeks.  I'd say Ellen likes our prez!

In case you missed it or didn't set your DVR, here's the video:

Dierks Bentley Honors Bob Dylan

A couple of months ago, we posted about Dierks being part of the Bob Dylan compilation cd that was released today, January 24.

In case you forgot, Dierks was nice enough to remind us today via Twitter!

You can visit the Facebook page for Amnesty International USA and get more information about the compilation cd. Be sure to check out the live version of 'Senor' featuring The Punch Brothers from the Up On the Ridge tour stop at the Ryman in May 2010.

Senor Dierks Bentley Joins Bob Dylan Compilation CD

Am I the only one who, after hearing "Senor (Tales of Yankee Power)" on Dierks Bentley's Up On The Ridge CD, had to know more about the meaning behind the Bob Dylan lyrics?

It seems there are a few possible interpretative themes--patriotic, religious, love or drugs--to name a few.

Whatever your take, be sure to give special attention to your calendars for January 24, 2012--when a live version of the song by Dierks will be available as one of the tracks on the forthcoming Bob Dylan tribute compilation CD.

The title of the 4-CD compilation is Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International.  The human rights organization fights against censorship and activities on behalf of free speech.

Other artists include, Sugarland, who will contribute a live version of  "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You," and Dylan himself singing the title track.

Given the title of the CD, I'm going with the patriotic theme.  How about you?
