Dierks Bentley Notches 22nd Career No. 1 With ‘Gold’
Dierks Bentley has earned his 22nd No. 1 hit, with “Gold” reaching the top of the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart this week. The track also hit the top of the MusicRow CountryBreakout Radio Chart in November.
The lead track from his 10th studio album Gravel & Gold, “Gold” spreads of a message of gratitude, looking at life from a different perspective and treasuring every day moments. Bentley wrote the tune with Ross Copperman, Ashley Gorley and Luke Dick.
“When we wrote ‘Gold,’ I wanted to write a song that captures the idea of enjoying the journey,” Bentley shares. “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.”
Bentley will take his Gravel & Gold album on the road this summer on the “Gravel & Gold Tour.” He will be joined by a full slate of supporting talent on select dates, 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, Ontario.
