Fans vote on Dierks Bentley greatest hits
In an online town hall meeting last night, Bentley announced the final results to more than 2,000 fans interacting live via video chat on www.dierks.com. The fans voted that the album will be titled "Greatest Hits//Every Mile A Memory 2003 - 2008" and will include Bentley's 10 Top 10 and number 1 radio hits, 4 live versions of crowd favorites "So So Long," "Lot of Leavin' Left To Do," "Wish It Would Break" and "Free & Easy (Down The Road I Go)" and two new tracks, "With The Band" and "Sweet & Wild" (featuring Sarah Buxton).
The first 3,000 fans who participated in the DB Hits/Fan Project program will be listed as executive producers in the final album's liner notes, and a donation to Vanderbilt Childrens' Hospital will also be made in their honor. The fans had to pay to be listed.
Bentley is currently in the studio working on his fourth studio album of original material and his Throttle Wide Open tour is back in action this week in Jackson, Tenn., Birmingham, Ala. and Hot Springs, Ark.
