In 2011, country superstar Dierks Bentley gave George Strait's classic "I Cross My Heart" a bluegrass makeover live on stage at CMT's 'Greatest Love Songs Concert.' See the video linked below.
In 2021, during an interview with Cody Alan, Dierks tipped his hat again to "The King," revealing one of his favorite tour moments alongside the country legend.
Here's what Dierks said:
"Man, back in the day when I was touring with George Strait. He and Norma are more wine people. They love good wine," Dierks reminisced. "Sitting on his bus, I still remember it so well, having a glass of wine with The King after a show. It's like, "Wow. Is there anywhere else in the world you would rather be?" The answer is "NO."

"Write this down," this is a memory that Dierks will keep forever.
