Gravel & Gold is the tenth studio album by American country music artist Dierks Bentley. It was released February 24, 2023 by Capitol Records Nashville.

Content

Gravel & Gold is Bentley's first studio album in almost five years since 2018's The Mountain. In between, he released two standalone singles, "Gone" and "Beers on Me", which peaked at numbers two and one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, respectively, and were not included on an album.

"Gold" was released on August 8, 2022, as the album's first single. An article by MusicRow confirmed that the project would include contributions from Ashley McBryde, Billy Strings, as well as bluegrass music artists Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Charlie Worsham, and Bryan Sutton.

Commercial performance

Gravel & Gold debuted at No. 14 on Billboard's Top Country Albums and No. 73 on the US Billboard 200, with 12,000 album-equivalent units.

Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote, "Throughout the record, Bentley sounds relaxed and cozy in his comfort zone, and that sense of ease, when combined with the occasional barn burner, such as the jocular bluegrass closer 'High Note'is a recipe for a good time."
