His fourth album for Capitol Records Nashville, it includes his ten singles from his first three albums: 2003's "Dierks Bentley", 2005's "Modern Day Drifter", and 2006's "Long Trip Alone". Two songs were newly recorded for this compilation: "Sweet and Wild" (a duet with Sarah Buxton) and "With the Band".
