Dierks Bentley Gears Up for Grammy Awards and Concert at The Troubadour

Dierks Bentley Gears Up for Grammy Awards and Concert at The Troubadour

Dierks Bentley has three Grammy nominations at this Sunday's ceremony in Los Angeles including two mentions in the Best Country Collaboration with Vocal category: "Bad Angel" with Jamey Johnson and Miranda Lambert and "Pride (In the Name of Love)" with Del McCoury and The Punch Brothers. "I'm gonna split the votes and have no chance of winning," Dierks jokes. "No, it's really cool. You know, I voted and to go down and see your name twice and to kind of have to choose between one of your two collaborations is really cool."

Dierks is also playing a pre-Grammy show at The Troubadour in Los Angeles on Saturday night, February 12th, with a few special guests. Members of Lady Antebellum are expected to be on hand, and Dierks is reaching out to artists beyond country music as well. He says, "Just trying to get some different people out from different genres and see what happens and give my fans out there a unique kind of show that will never happen again. So, we're working on collaborations and making it a lot of fun."

DBC VOTES FAVORITE DIERKS DUET

You may have noticed a new voting box on the right of the DBC Blog page. The first questions was: "Which is your favorite Dierks duet partner song?" And the results are in! Exactly half of the voters like Sweet and Wild, the duet with Sarah Buxton, from Dierks' Greatest Hits CD! The next biggest favorite is Beautiful World, which could very well be the fourth single to be released from Dierks' current Feel That Fire CD!

Sweet And Wild - Sarah Buxton 50%
Beautiful World - Patty Griffin 26%
Last Call - Ronnie McCoury 7%
Good Things Happen - Alison Krauss 12%
Barbie Doll - Jack Ingram 5%

Be sure to vote is this week's poll: "What type of DB contest (if offered) would you most like to win?"

HAPPY SIDEWAYS DAY

"I Saw the Sideways video this morning on Aussie CMC TV!" exclaims Rach from Australia. "It's so good to finally dance in my loungeroom (I think that's like a living room in the US) to this great song."

The previous DB Congress Member of the Week is doing her congressional duty and promoting Dierks Bentley--especially on Fridays when the country music video countdowns of the week begin. "On most emails I sent on Friday to my work colleagues, I started with 'Happy Sideways Day.' I then asked people to go listen to the song, as it was Dierks tribute to Fridays! I think we could really reclaim Fridays as Sideways day," Rach declares.

After all, the lyrics demand it--worked all week it's time to play, gonna get a little bit sideways.

Just a few years ago, I used to dub Thursdays as "Dierksday Thursday" because that was when the video countdowns revealed their top 20 country music videos of the week. Now, CMT and GAC and CMC in Australia countdown the top videos of the week on Fridays, based on fan votes. That's where we need your help!

Vote for Dierks' Sideways video in the U.S. on CMT Top 20, CMT Pure 12-Pack and GAC Top 20. This week the video landed at #11 on CMT20, and finally debuted at #14 on GAC! Thank you DB Congress! Please urge all your family and friends to vote for Dierks this week and let's get him into the single digits, and make a showing on CMT Pure 12-Pack!

So, Rach, please post and let us know what number Sideways is on CMC TV this week!
