The music video for Dierks Bentley’s rendition of the Tom Petty classic “American Girl” is out. The song is instantly familiar and sonically fresh, thanks to the bluegrassy instrumental addition of the banjo and the mandolin. Dierks’ version serves as a sneak peek into the upcoming tribute album, “Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration of Tom Petty.”
Other names lending their vocals on some of the biggest songs in Petty’s catalog include George Strait, Luke Combs, Dolly Parton and many more. An official release date for “Petty Country” has yet to be announced.
