FOR YOUR CMA CONSIDERATION...

A friend of mine--to remain nameless--received an email today from the Dierks Bentley camp:

"This e-mail was sent to you as a member of the Country Music Association (One Music Circle South, Nashville, TN 37203) in order to educate voting members about nominees and nominated products for the 43rd Annual CMA Awards..."

Click here to watch the video.

And the categories for your CMA consideration are:
*Male Vocalist of the Year
*Song of the Year: Sideways
*Single of the Year: Sideways
*Music Video of the Year: Sideways
*Album of the Year: Feel That Fire
*Vocal Event of the Year: Beautiful World with Patty Griffin

Of course I told my friend I hope they vote for Dierks and that DB deserves every one of those nominations in all those categories! Everybody think positive thoughts!

DIERKS TALKS PUBS, PRANKS AND PARENTING

Marci from US 99 in Chicago recently sat down with Dierks before his show at Tinley Park and recorded it all on her purple flip camera. Check it out! Big thanks to Meg for the link.

SNEAK PEAK AT PROFESSIONAL PICS OF DIERKS AT THE TABERNACLE

This is not my blog yet, but I saw these from the Access Atlanta.com website and they were so crystal clear and spectacular I wanted to share so you all could see. There are 12 pics in their gallery.

There is also an article.

There are times when you’re just the background music to what’s going on. I want people facing forward, fully engaged in the show. I want their undivided attention. I need that. My ego wants your undivided attention for as long as we’re playing. And I’ll give you mine. It’s a two-way street. I like playing places where it forces you to be face-forward, beer in one hand, fist in the other.” -db
