new traditionalist country

Texas singer/songwriter George Ducas broke into the national spotlight in 1995 with two hit singles on Liberty Records: "Teardrops" and "Lipstick Promises," which reached No. 9 on the "Billboard" country singles chart. His second album, 1997's "Where I Stand," met with critical approval but failed to produce any major hits and he was dropped from the label. However, Ducas continued to tour, headlining and opening shows for such acts as Alan Jackson, Toby Keith, Diamond Rio and Faith Hill.

Bentley's musical style is considered to be more traditional than many of his contemporaries and often contains traditional themes of lost or forbidden love, drinking and cheating. "Lot of leavin' left to do", one of his biggest singles, is also reminiscent of Waylon Jennings' style of Outlaw country with Western Swing influences. Early life
