As if I didn't have Feel That Fire, Sideways........ and every single song Dierks has recorded a gazillion times each on my iPod--studio CD versions, acoustic cuts, singles from compilations, etc.--I just had to buy the "Live from SOHO" 6-song set from iTunes just now. What I especially love about live versions, is that you get to hear Dierks talking and setting up the song he's about to sing. Such was the case for Sideways....
"This next song....wanna do Sideways?.....kinda categorizes the fun stuff....I kinda figured out with Free and Easy Down The Road I Go that sometimes you you don't have to have a rocket science-type of song to try to please everybody...as my mom would say... to have a good toe-tapper...I don't think my mom even listens to the lyrics...you either can tap your toe to it or you can't. It doesn't matter if the song could bring about world peace...you can either tap your toe to it or it doesn't..."

ReplyDeleteI was beginning to wonder if this was ever coming out! It was so fun to be there, especially since I ended up being front row center right in front of Dierks. Loved the "toe-tapper" story. Too bad they cut his intro for "I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes" - he joked that it didn't work on Cass anymore since she'd been hearing the song for 2 years & was sick of it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane! I love getting the inside scoop from DBC reps who were there live and in person!
