Over the next few months, you’ll find Brantley everywhere from Texas to South Carolina – and a lot of places in between. He’s got a bio, a lot of pictures, and of course a show schedule. In the meantime, I hope you will visit Brantley’s web site and listen to some of his music. You may remember we had a contest back where several lucky winners won a copy of Brantley’s first album, “A Modern Day Prodigal Son.” You can read the review for that CD, and find out more about Brantley by clicking here.Īs soon as I get a review ready, I’ll get that posted for you. Brantley’s describes his music as a "bona fide country-rock soul show … Even when we play a ballad it’s high energy." Preview the album’s first single "Kick It In The Sticks" at.
We’ll get a review of that new album up here for you soon. Streaming + Download Limited Edition Vinyl. With "Halfway To Heaven," we don't - it seems - even get the half of it when it comes to Brantley Gilbert's true musical character.Just a quick post to let you know that Brantley Gilbert will be releasing his sophomore album on March 16. Halfway To Heaven from Passion Play by Kristian North Digital Track. by: Brantley Gilbert It wouldn't be out of line to call Brantley Gilbert a country rocker or an outlaw country artist, but don't let those terms conjure nostalgic images of Willie and Waylon in your head, because they mean something different when applied to Gilbert's generation of Nashville rebels. He simply decided he wasn't going to hide his inner biker anymore.
Steve Earle followed his rock and roll heart with "Copperhead Road" way back in the day and never looked back. Is this album's softer material a snapshot composite of the real Brantley Gilbert, or is the real thing the guy that wasn't afraid to let his Marshalls blare while on the road with Willie? We may never know for sure. Maybe his label is afraid Nashville is just not ready for the cranked up guitars of Hell On An Angel. Instead of redneck roof raisers, there is the acoustic guitar and piano-supported Saving Amy, and a lot more just like it. For starters, the first half finds Gilbert singing in a wimpy voice one that will never be confused with Aldean's. The way My Kinda Party, in particular, hotwired country radio with a little much-needed raw power, combined with how this man came off as the undisputed loudest performer at the already noisy Willie Nelson's Country Throwdown recently, strongly suggested that this artist may well be the second coming of Lynyrd Skynyrd.Īlthough the hit single Country Must Be Country Wide amply lives up to that 'up to 11' promise - so much so that many have surely confused it with an Aldean single - the rest of "Halfway To Heaven Deluxe" (it s a resissue from last year on a different label with added songs) - for better or worse - mostly falls short of the ear blast mark. The success Jason Aldean experienced with two of Brantley Gilbert songs ( My Kinda Party, Dirt Road Anthem) made for much excited anticipation over Brantley Gilbert's "Halfway To Heaven." Gilbert revisits Dirt Road Anthem on a new album filled with plenty of redneck musical philosophy.
