Country music star Dierks Bentley recently released a new single, “Gold,” offering a preview of his forthcoming tenth studio album.

Bentley co-wrote the song with his frequent collaborators Ashley Gorley, Luke Dick and Ross Copperman.

“It ain’t easy / Nobody said it would be / You finally find that greener grass / But you’re still in the weeds / Ain’t it crazy / All the time that you spend / Drivin’ through the rainbow for the pot at the end,” Bentley sings in the opening verse.

“2020 was a chance for me to give my guitar and the road a little rest. It gave me the chance to spend a lot more time adventuring outdoors with family and friends, but also alone. It also gave me time to reset and rekindle my love of country music and a lot of the types of songs and sounds that I fell in love with when I first got to Nashville,” explains Bentley. “I think you’ll hear that in this first track, but it carries across the whole album.”
