Song is from latest album Gravel & Gold
Multi-Platinum entertainer Dierks Bentley takes “Gold” to the top of the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart this week marking his 22nd career No. 1. The lead track is from his 10th studio album Gravel & Gold that emphasizes looking at life from a different perspective and treasuring every day moments, and is the soundtrack for the all-new Chevy Colorado truck campaign.
“When we wrote ‘Gold,’ I wanted to write a song that captures the idea of enjoying the journey,” explains Bentley. “The reality is that there are a lot of rocky times that we all go through, but amongst all the tough stuff, when you look for the special moments it can change how you view the world. I know that’s a reminder I need for myself, so the fans and Country radio embracing it means a lot.”
The country hitmaker will next hit the road for the Gravel & Gold Tour this summer. He’ll be joined by an entourage of talent including Jordan Davis, Elle King, Tracy Lawrence, Tyler Braden, Caylee Hammack, Hot Country Knights, Kameron Marlowe, The Cadillac Three, The Red Clay Strays, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Shane Smith & the Saints, Caitlyn Smith and Hailey Whitters. The tour kicks off on June 1 in Toronto, ON.
Bentley’s 10th album landmark speaks to how time has flown in his unique, 21st century career. He landed his first publishing deal in 2001 and released his debut album in 2003, producing an instant No. 1 single. The years since have revealed a rare consistency that’s fueled longevity – eight more albums that reached the top of the country sales charts, resulting in what’s now 22 chart-toppers, eight billion streams, three CMA Awards, 14 Grammy nominations and membership into the Grand Ole Opry.
