Dierks Bentley's career took off in 2003 when he hit No. 1 with his debut single, 'What Was I Thinkin.'' His latest studio album is his 10th — and he said he's managed to remain the same guy he was when he broke into the country music scene.

With the release of his newest album,"Gravel & Gold," Dierks Bentley goes back to the authentic sound that first drew him to Nashville as a teenager with a dream.

"It's weird," said Bentley, who is now 47."The further you go trying to search for authenticity and search yourself and come up with new records, new ideas, but you're still— a lot of the songs, same old me. I'm still the same guy, playing the same guitar."On Bentley's path to country music stardom, there were detours and doubters — and one rough tour in particular that prompted him to take a break and make a bluegrass record.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bentley moved his family from Nashville to Colorado, where he put down his guitar for a while and listened to all the music he's made over the past 20 years, like his albums"Modern Day Drifter,""Long Trip Alone,""Feel That Fire,""Up on the Ridge,""Home,""Riser" and"The Mountain."
