Dierks Debuts Lead Single "Am I The Only One" From Upcoming Album
Come on, come on, get your good time on! Check out Dierks Bentley in the video on dierks.com talking about his new single, 'Am I The Only One?', which shipped to radio today! Let's go DB Congress! Request, Request, Request!
This article was posted on dierks.com today:
Dierks is introducing his sixth Capitol Nashville studio project with the rowdy sing-a-long party song “Am I The Only One,” shipping to radio today. Fans can stream the song this week through Dierks' social networks and will be able to purchase through iTunes beginning March 29.
“We just kicked off the Jager Tour this past weekend, and the song is already killing it out there,” says Dierks. “The fans are singing the second and third choruses with fists in the air. I decided to stage dive Sat. night and by Sun. night in Pittsburgh the fans were crowd surfing before I even hit the stage. They haven’t been shy about letting me know that I’m not the ‘only one!’ We recorded a lot of fun, uptempo songs for the new record, so we’re going to be rocking the whole year.”
Written by Dierks, Jim Beavers and Jon Randall, the new song was recorded at Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, NC, where Dierks and the other musicians lived and recorded 15 songs for the new project in only five days. Over 35,000 fans tuned in and streamed the recording process that Dierks made available to them through a 24 hour web cam.

Dierks will debut “Am I The Only One” on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno next Tues., March 29. He will also perform the new song the following day on CBS’ The Talk and the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards live from Las Vegas on Sun., April 3 where he is nominated for “Album of the Year.”
Dierks' new album follows in the footsteps of his critically acclaimed UP ON THE RIDGE, which earned Album of the Year nominations at the ACM, CMA and GRAMMY Awards this year. His previous five albums have sold over five million copies, earned 10 GRAMMY nominations, have spawned seven No. one hits (What Was I Thinkin,” “Come A Little Closer,” “Settle For A Slowdown,” “Every Mile A Memory,” “Free and Easy (Down The Road I Go),” “Feel That Fire,” “Sideways”) and 12 Top 10 hits.
Dierks is testing the new music for fans on the road while headlining the 30-city 2011 JÄGERMEISTER COUNTRY TOUR which treks to Lewiston, ME, Poughkeepsie, NY, Reading, PA and Westbury, NY this week. The tour runs through mid-May and features special guest Josh Thompson and Miss Willie Brown.

MANDY & TERRY'S WILD CANADIAN DIERKS ADVENTURE
A three-string of Dierks Bentley concerts started on Thursday, Feb. 12th for Mandy and Terry--girlfriend/boyfriend and DB Congress reps from London, Ontario, Canada. They were both fortunate to win the Meet & Greet Lottery prior to their hometown show. They had quite an adventure, hopping on busses and trains to transport them to experience the live music of their favorite artist. Read all about this unique DRT (Dierks Road Trip):
"We finally arrived at the concert venue just before the doors opened and picked up our meet and greet passes. We got held up in line at the bus terminal buying our bus tickets to go to the next day's concert. There weren't many people at the M&G since the room was really small--that was a good thing. We got our pictures taken and Dierks actually remembered us from last year. Someone in the M&G gave us an extra CD booklet so we could get it signed since we left ours at home by accident. Thank you so much, Lynn!
We ended up showing Dierks Terry's speech-enabled cell phone that reads the computer screen out loud [Terry is completely blind]. We took pictures with the phone rather than carrying a camera. When we showed him the phone, we told Dierks the story of the display picture on it...we bought a new stereo system recently and Terry decided to sit in the box like he used to do when he was a kid. Dierks thought that was funny. Dierks talked to the group about his Jay Leno experience. After the group photo, we got a hug and then unfortunately we had to leave to let others come in.
Crystal Shawanda opened. I only recognized a few songs, but she was really good (she's a Canadian singer). Dierks was great as always. Not enough songs though but Sideways was a good one for sure [It's also the second single from the Feel That Fire album, scheduled for a country radio add date of March 2]. Brad Paisley was good too--a little video crazy, but still good. At one point he started singing our (Canadian) national anthem and everyone finished it with him. At another point he called us Canadians, "God's frozen people."
We didn't sleep too much Thursday night with being excited for Friday's concert in Hamilton. When we tried to leave it got a little nuts. We went to the bus terminal but no one could tell which gate the bus was leaving from, so we ended up being switched to 3 different gates before we boarded our bus. When we got to Hamilton we had some food and the lady in the food place gave us the wrong directions to the venue so we got lost walking there and arrived right as the concert started. We were directed to the wrong seats and had to switch around after the opening act. This concert was good too--but again, not enough Dierks. Brad was teasing Keith Urban and Kenny Chesney by saying tell those wimps I said "hi," because I'm not scared to come up here in the cold (Keith and Kenny are coming in the summer).
On Sunday, we took the train to to the Windsor show. That was crazy because when we got to the train station the train was delayed 90 minutes and we had to call our friend that was giving us a place to stay and let her know we would arrive late so she picked us up at the train station and took us to the casino. We grabbed some food and just made it 15 minutes before show time. We loved hearing the new songs (Sideways, I Wanna Make You Close Your Eyes, Beautiful World, and Feel That Fire). Someone gave him flowers and was joking they wanted his guitar in return.
We spent some time after the show telling a guy about the fan club and he may join. His name is Jim so we'll have to watch for him."
So, Jim, if you're reading this, go to dierks.com and join the fan club and come back here and join the DB Congress--we'll be waiting. You could be DBC rep #401!

DIERKS SINGS THE TONIGHT SHOW
Dierks Bentley and his band of brothers performed "Life On The Run" last night on Jay Leno's The Tonight Show. The rockin' song is hopefully the next single from the new Feel That Fire album, released last week--and topped the charts right out of the box! Jay's other guests included Amy Adams (Doubt) and American Idol judge, Paula Abdul.
A couple of our DB Congress California reps--Janet and Debbie--were in the audience and gave us their view of the on-and-off camera antics.
Janet: What you couldn't see was Paula reaching for Dierks and him backing up. Not so nice to grab, Paula! Afterwards, Deb and I stood up and he looked through the lights and said "thank you" to us. We were in the first row of real seats on the end 10 feet away from him and the stage. We yelled as loud as we could when the curtain went up and he nods (don't know if you saw this on camera) and came as close as you can get to a wave with his hands busy playing. Life On The Run sounded good. Look out - there's the next single! Rod [Janzen] had a grin on his face the entire time and Robbie [Harrington] has a mic and sings along on this one. It needs everyone's voices on the back up but it sounds good. Even without the revving on the front end.
At the end they filmed some promo spots. Dierks, Jay, Amy, and Paula were standing in a line, with Amy and Paula hanging on to each other. Jays says 'we have a double date here tonight with...' but it looked like guys against girls. The next promo, he says, the girls are all dressed up and turns to D (Dierks) and says 'what happened to you?' D just looks down at himself and pantomimes 'huh?' Funny. After the promos, we yelled, he acknowledged and then Paula goes after him and he grabs both Amy (in the middle) and Paula and has someone take a picture of the three of them. He did a nice job of fending Paula off. Pretty funny to watch.
DBC Wisconsin rep, Samantha commented, "When the curtain goes up, Dierks looked nervous but it seemed like when he saw some familiar faces he felt really comfortable!"

Debbie: I totally agree that it makes him feel better to look out and see familiar faces in the audience. Not just a bunch of people who don't even know who he is! We did have a blast at the show. Jay never does interviews with any musicians because he never leaves enough time for that! Maybe he will on his new show! When he took his camera after the show and took a picture of himself with Amy and Paula was funny! I think it might have been his video camera and we may see it on dierks.com when he posts all his little shots of himself doing his album release stuff. Anyway, it was great and we were very happy he noticed us and thanked us for coming.
Thanks for representing the DB Congress, ladies, and supporting our president!
You can watch the whole 42 minute show here, or just fast forward to the 38 minute mark.Saturday, January 31, 2009
