First was the visual, the wall of lights behind Brantley was so bright when shining white light, that it continuously hurt my eyes and gave me sunspots.

Just like its predecessor, 2017's The Devil Don't Sleep peaked at No. Gilbert consolidated his new-found success with wins at the ACMs and iHeartRadio Awards, and 2014's chart-topping Just As I Am, which also sold over one million copies and produced two more No. 1 singles, "You Don't Know Her Like I Do" and "Country Must Be Country Wide," both of which helped Gilbert pick up the CMA Triple Play Award in 2013. 4 on the Billboard 200 but also spawned two US Country No. Follow-up Halfway to Heaven arrived a year later, but only found a large audience in 2011 when it was reissued by Gilbert's new label, Valory Music Co. After initially performing as a solo acoustic artist, Gilbert assembled his own band to help bring his rowdy sound to life and in 2009 released his debut album, Modern Day Prodigal Son. As you'd expect, the Brantley Gilbert live experience is a loud and proud one, with his array of fist-pumping, foot-stomping anthems often accompanied by dazzling pyrotechnics, swirling lasers and LCD visuals.īorn in Jefferson, Georgia, in 1985, Gilbert grew up listening to a mix of Southern rock, alternative and country, but only decided to pursue a music career himself following a near-fatal truck accident at the age of 19. The self-proclaimed small-town guy has also barely left the road since emerging in the late '00s, supporting the likes of Willie Nelson, Toby Keith and Tim McGraw, as well as headlining his own tours: 2012's Hell on Wheels, 2016's Take It Outside and 2018's The Ones That Like Me. Album DescriptionCombining the outlaw country of Eric Church with the blue-collar rock of Bruce Springsteen, Brantley Gilbert is one of the harder-edged names to emerge from the contemporary Nashville scene.

If he sometimes gets stuck in sticky sentiments, particularly when writing love songs, he nevertheless pulls himself free through sheer sturdy craft. He's more of a romantic, specializing in lightly soulful slow-burners that wind up complementing his minor-key anthems. This reticence toward rocking accentuates how Gilbert really doesn't belong among modern country's bros. Pensive, sure - Gilbert can make a weekend out partying seem like a brooding affair - but he rarely seems dour on the bigger, bolder tunes, all of which sound like they're just on the verge of cutting loose. If Gilbert sounds like anybody, it's Jason Aldean - Brantley wrote several of Jason's hits including "Dirt Road Anthem," but the connection goes further than that "Way Back" even has a skittish electronic beat reminiscent of "Burnin' It Down" - but he manages to spin his grinding minor-key midtempo tunes into a place that doesn't seem morose. That much was apparent on Just as I Am, the 2014 album that generated the smash hit "Bottoms Up," the single that cemented Gilbert's stardom, but The Devil Don't Sleep - the 2017 sequel to Just as I Am - makes it plain that Gilbert intends to separate himself from his party-hearty brethren.
