The last few years have seen Dierks Bentley emerge as the hottest young star in country music. With two Platinum albums, 2005's chart-topping Modern Day Drifter and a long list of honors he has established himself as one of the most acclaimed artists in music today. In just one year, he jumped from winning the 2005 CMA Horizon Award to a 2006 CMA Male Vocalist of the Year nomination. He also won the ACM Top New Artist Award in 2004 and went on to receive a nomination for the 2005 ACM Top Male Vocalist Award. In May 2008, Bentley will release Greatest Hits. Bentley spent over 300 days on the road last year earning him a reputation as one of the hardest workers in the business.
