Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Solid Music (it's Dierks), Questionable Collection Comment: Obviously, the music on here is solid; this is Dierks material. And while it is conventionally a bit premature to be releasing a retrospective disc, he really HAS already had enough quality material, by most country artists' standards, to justify a greatest hits release. The content, not so much the concept, is what's potentially objectionable here. The song selection, as with any retrospective package, is subjectively debatable. While all of his hits (which ARE included) are shoe-ins, the logic behind the remainder of the selections is less clear. I guess I'd've liked to have seen a few of the overlooked quality songs (if you own either of the first two albums, you probably know what I mean). Instead, this collection re-emphasizes some of the megahits with an additional, and generally mediocre, live version (yeah - 2 versions). I would say Dierks' catalogue is already too substantial for the record company to need to focus so strongly on just the "hits", but it ultimately just comes down to preference. Also, there are some quirky remixings and overdubs (yeah - overdubs) on some of the material (in both the studio and live versions of "Free & Easy", for instance). Again, I can't say whether it adds or detracts - it'll come down to preference. Some may not even notice the differences. There are two new songs: "Sweet & Wild", and "With the Band". The former is good - roughly on par with "Good Things Happen" (but with a galloping backbeat). The latter is passable (comparable to "That Don't Make it Easy Loving Me") though definitely not among his best. In summary; this collection is generaly as advertized - "Greatest Hits" - and not necessarily "Best of". There's little depth beyond the 5-8 songs you already heard on "Kissin-102-point-whatever". The collection will appeal to those who are looking for the radio hits - which are certainly among his best. To those at all suspicious that they might really dig Dierks, I'd recommend the previous 3 albums instead (and then maybe the '07 Bonnaroo Festival download on iTunes, if you get hooked). To the hardcores who must have everything Dierks (and have the greenbacks to back it up) - don't hesitate. The alternate mixing and new material will probably make it worthwhile. Customer Rating: Summary: Dierks is great! Comment: Well as far as some of ya think it's too early for a greatest hits package..remember when George Strait would release one after every 4 albums? then he'd leave off the 4th album...as example (strait country,strait from the heart, and right or wrong) then the hits from Doest fort worth ever cross your mind was left off and then put on volume 2. Dierks is one of the most accomplished newer country stars one of my all time faves of today. this is a good starter for those who don't have the 3 albums which ya should all own.. every cd he's made has been a masterpiece. Customer Rating: Summary: GREAT GREAT GREAT GREATEST HITS PACKAGE Comment: What makes this such a special Greatest Hits Collection is that Dierks left the album's title and cover up to the fans to vote on. He also listed those fans as co-producers and included each of their names in the album's liner notes. Musically, you will find all of Dierks biggest hits, including live concert footage, as well as two new songs. This collection should leave Bentley fans thirsty for album #4. Customer Rating: Summary: Great CD Comment: Dierks Bentley's greatest hit cd is wonderful. It give you a chance to listen to his biggest hits,live music, and two new songs. The live songs can only give an idea of what he is like in concert. The new songs are good,not great. Sweet and Wild is the one of the two new tracks and features Sarah Buxton. With an artist as talented as dierks i think it was time for a greatest hits album and i don't think this is anywhere near the end of his career because look at toby keith his first greatest hits cd came out only after four studio releases and a christmas cd. The greatest hits cd was a way for dierks to give back to the fans and it is a great way for others to be introduced to his music or just have the favorites all in one place. Customer Rating: Summary: Record Company Cashing In! Comment: It's pitiful that Dierks' record company felt the need to compile a greatest hits after only 3 studio albums!!!!!! Plus, the two new songs chosen are not that great! They should have waited a few more years after Dierks had been able to release a couple more stellar cds! Sad! More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Five years, five #1 hits, six Grammy nominations, and one CMA Horizon Award later, Platinum-selling country superstar Dierks Bentley brings you a collection of his fan's favorites on Greatest Hits/Every Mile A Memory 2003-2008. The compilation features ten of Dierks' most recognizable hits, two brand new songs, and five live songs selected exclusively by his fans! Dierks has given his loyal fans creative control of this project, allowing them to handpick the content of the album, cover art, and the album title. Participating fans will then have their names listed in the liner notes of the project as executive producers. Dierk says, 'I can't think of a better way to get my fans involved than to have them actually act as executive producers of this record'.
