Why People Love Dierks

The May 2011 issue of People magazine's Country Special features our DB Congress president, Dierks Bentley, as one of their 50 Country's Hottest Guys!  People says they love DB not only for his blue eyes and romantic lyrics, but also because he's modest and keeps it simple.  Be sure to pick up your very own copy of the magazine today!

DIERKS PICS IN PEOPLE MAGAZINE

I finally found the June 2009 People magazine - Country Special edition today and quickly grabbed it off the Publix rack and put it in my shopping cart. I tried to leave it there and go on about my grocery shopping, but I couldn't stand it! I had to look inside to get a peek at any and all Dierks Bentley pics! Here's what I found:

Page 30...the left side of a 2-page spread of the 21 country stars honoring George Strait at the Artist of the Decade event. Since this is a Dierks Bentley blog, you'll have to buy the magazine to find out where Keith Urban's other hand is!




Country's Hottest Guys started on page 36 with Brad, Blake, Keith...and then I think I hesitated a little too long (for a die-hard Dierks fan) on the center-fold--Chuck Wicks looking fine in blue jeans and a white, wet top---in the surf, on the beach, when I found The Free Spirit Dierks Bentley on page 43.


Ironically, Dierks is quoted saying "I grew up in Arizona riding horses and wearing cowboy hats. Now I'm a country singer, and I don't wear hats and I ride motorcycles," he says with a laugh. "Go figure!" Now does that dispel the controvery over the American Songwriter comment, or what?

EVIE ENJOYS SWADDLING FROM THE MASTER--DADDY DIERKS

I know the March 2009 issue of People magazine (Country Special) has been out for a while now, but it's hard to find on store shelves! So now that I finally have it, I wanted to share with the DB Congress! Doesn't she look like a little doll-baby! Dierks is right--she IS perfect! She is so beautiful in her baby blue jumper--just like her beautiful mom and handsome dad! "His most memorable day recently? It was Nov. 11, the first time that Evie smiled at him." (Toledoblade.com)

Can't read the fine print?...

"Sure Dierks Bentley is thrilled about his new album, Feel That Fire, and his tour with pal Brad Paisely, but what really gets his blood pumping? Swaddling! "He's a very competitive swaddler," laughs wife Cassidy. "There's a science to it--firm but not too tight," he says. "I'm a master!" The lucky beneficiary of this talent is, of course, 4-month old Evalyn Day, the couple's first child. But before Evie (as she's known) made her entrance on Oct. 4, Bentley admits, "I practiced on [my dog] Jake!" All that swaddling probably helped Jake, as well as the family's other pup George, welcome their new sibling. "Some nights when we're in bed and Cass is asleep and Evie's right there and the dogs are around us, it's like a big tribe--our tribe," he says. "It's the coolest thing. It's like, 'This is mine?'"

Does anyone else wonder how People magazine wrangled the "first photo" of Evie?

IT'S A BABY BENTLEY

Dierks and baby Evalyn Day will be in this month's People country special. CMT announced a new partnership with People magazine for a half-hour special to coincide with the magazine’s popular country issues.
