When it comes to the joys of fatherhood, first-time dad Dierks Bentley admits he may deserve an 'I told you so!' or two, in an article on theboot.com.

"I've had so many friends that say, 'Man, it'll change your life.' And it's like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not going to change my life.' But it really does.  It's like starting over again. Your whole world explodes and you see everything completely different. Everything is more meaningful, more colorful."

Bentley and wife Cassidy welcomed baby Evie in October. The country star can't quite put into words the surprises she brings every day.

"My daughter has been so amazing," he gushes. "She's three months now, and it's not something you can really talk about in an interview. It's mind-blowing.

"It's like you get a chance to do everything over again. So with Cass and Evie and our two dogs, it's like you have your own tribe. I just love that feeling of starting our own traditions and having our own thing. It's amazing. I highly recommend it," Bentley says with a laugh.

Bentley is set to release his fourth studio album, 'Feel That Fire,' on February 3.   He'll be in concert with Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker at the Nutter Center Thursday night.
