Dierks Bentley's love of country music inspired him to move to Nashville
at the age of 19, but he grew discouraged quickly by the lack of public and professional
interest coming his way. That all changed when he landed a job at TNN television
network doing research on country music and working on demos at night. Capitol
Records signed him and he released his self-titled album in 2003. His first single,
“What Was I Thinkin’,” arrived at number one on the Billboard
Hot Country Singles. Bentley released his sixth stupid album in 2010 and reached
number one on the country charts.
