"I did a lot of research in pubs across the U.S. and Europe to get this song just right," joked Bentley. "My band almost died of hypothermia a few weeks ago doing research out on my houseboat in freezing weather. It was the only way to make sure it would sound good out in party cove this spring. Seriously, a lot of thought and Bud Light went into choosing this song as the second single."

 Smith made the circuit to introduce a bouncy new dance mix of his 2008 beach and bikini hit, “Livin’ The Good Life” of which Mark Moffatt did the remix .

“The club tour was immense fun,” says Smith, who has just released the new single and music video, “Man Like Me,” from his forthcoming album, Revolution.  “It was fantastic to meet and make so many new friends.  Hats off to Bobbe for making every stop a tremendously fun-filled event.”
 
 Club personnel are equally delighted. Calling Smith “one of the best artists to pass through Coyote’s,” DJ Jeff Allen observes, “He made many new fans here in Augusta.  He’s a soon-to-be true country music superstar—not just in music but also in his fans’ hearts.”
 
  Jackie Hicks of Cotton Eye Joe’s agrees. “What a treat to have Daniel Smith here!” she says.  “Club-goers love the opportunity to meet new country artists and say they knew them when.  We look forward to having Daniel back soon.”
 
 One thing’s for sure–Smith's fans will soon have him back on radio, the Internet and in person.  “Man Like Me” has just been released to radio stations nationally and is being boosted for heavy airplay by Marco Promotions. CMT.com is adding the dramatic “Man Like Me” video to its playlist.  And Smith will perform at various sites and appear daily at his own fan booth at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, June 11-14.
 
 “Man Like Me,” which was written by hitmakers Bobby Pinson, Kris Bergsnes and Charlie Moore and produced by Larry Sheridan, is shaping up to be one of the year’s most compelling musical statements about taking responsibility for one’s mistakes.  Smith delivers the song—and the video images—with the sensitivity and intensity of a man who knows his subject well. 
 
“If there’s such a thing as critical mass for an artist,” Smith muses, “I think I’ve reached it.  All the elements are in place and in action.  I can’t wait for fans to hear the music we’ve put together for Revolution. I’ve never been so proud of a project or so eager to take it on the road.”
