Dierks Bentley is out with his 10th studio album 20 years into his career: "Still that same kid that just loves country music"

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. 

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.   

"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."
