This is a great introduction to anyone new to the talents of Dierks Bentley!
And great for his fans as it includes new tracks and live recordings.
All his hits are here like the great uptempos Lot Of Leavin' Left To Do,What Was I Thinkin',Every Mile A Memory,Free And Easy(Down The Road I Go),and the fantastic ballads Settle For A Slowdown,Trying To Stop Your Leaving,Come A Little Closer and Long Trip Alone.All classic songs.
He also includes 2 new tracks Sweet & Wild and With The Band which will no doubt be 2 more hits for him.Plus he has included some excellent Live recordings of 5 of his hits which were chosen by his fans on his website.
Dierks is one of the best male artists in country music today,and this collection shows why.I can guarentee that you will end up buying his albums after listening to these hits.I highly recommend this.

What makes this such a special Greatest Hits Collection is that Dierks left the album's title and cover up to the fans to vote on. He also listed those fans as co-producers and included each of their names in the album's liner notes. Musically, you will find all of Dierks biggest hits, including live concert footage, as well as two new songs. This collection should leave Bentley fans thirsty for album #4.

I am not the worlds biggest D.B. fan but still fan enough to purchase his album. My only real critism is that several tracks at the end of the CD are repeats, meaning they are also at the beginning of the CD. Why you ask? Because the ones at the end are "live" recordings. I personally do not see the point of having two of the same tracks on the same album. It seems to me to be a way that they can charge more because there are more tracks. However, if you are a die-hard Dierks fan, you may think it's worth it. If I had to do over again, I would get the specific albums containing the songs I liked rather than get the Greatest Hits album. I feel that would give you better bang for your buck.

It's not the number of albums, it's the number of quality songs. Dierks never makes a bad one. Modern Day Drifter could have been a greatest hit's if he had released every song.The songs that he records are all hits. Most people usually have about 10 songs in a GH, he more than suits the qualifications.

Well as far as some of ya think it's too early for a greatest hits package..remember when George Strait would release one after every 4 albums? then he'd leave off the 4th album...as example (strait country,strait from the heart, and right or wrong) then the hits from Doest fort worth ever cross your mind was left off and then put on volume 2. Dierks is one of the most accomplished newer country stars one of my all time faves of today. this is a good starter for those who don't have the 3 albums which ya should all own.. every cd he's made has been a masterpiece.

I love Dierks Bentley - this cd not too much. His songs on the "Greatest Hits" are good songs, but most of my favorite tracks from Dierk's career are missing from this cd. Unless you just want a sample of his music; I would suggest skipping this collection and getting his three earlier cds instead.

Honestly, my problem with this cd was that it is too early in Dierk's career for a "greatest hits" cd and that's why I think the song choice on this cd was poor. The songs on this disc may be good songs, but this collection does not reflect Dierks best work (in my opinion). If he had waited two more albums before doing a "greatest hits" collection; Dierks would have had more songs to choose from - which would have improved this cd alot.

Like I said earlier, buy this cd if you are new to Dierks' work or you want a sample of a few of his songs (only 10 past songs on this cd, out of 3 previous cds). If you already have all of his earlier cds, don't bother with this one as the new songs and live versions of all songs are not worth it (in my opinion).

I rec'd this item quickly. It was in its original package, new, un-scratched, unbroken. Of course, since it's Dierks Bentley's greatest hits, it's a really good CD. I'm very happy with my purchase.

My husband has loved this song since he first heard it. The album is great.

If you need a reason to buy this CD, I have 3 words for you:
Sweet And Wild!!!! This song is phenomenal!! Another one worth noting is With The Band!!! These songs are only available on this CD and new and old fans definitely do not want to miss hearing these tracks!!! Not to mention this is a fantastic compilation of all of his hits!!! Go get this - today! ;)

I'm usually pretty disappointed with "Greatest Hits" albums because they rarely ever have all my favorite songs on them. That's not the case with Every Mile a Memory. Dierks let his fans choose the content and what we ended up with is a *true* greatest hits album, and I'm absolutely delighted with it. Way to go Dierks!
