I have
been listening to Brantley Gilbert for at least 6 months or so now, and I am
absolutely in love! He has that gravelly voice, with a rock edge to his music.
Some of it is in your face, and other times it is taken down a notch to a
ballad of sorts. He looks like the “bad boy” your parents always told you
to stay away from. Needless to say, I love his music.
Currently, Gilbert has three albums out. The first is titled
“A Modern Day Prodigal Son” and is pretty good, but not my favorite. His second album is titled “Halfway To Heaven
(Deluxe Edition)” and is greatly improved from the first album. One of my
favorite songs on this album is called “Saving Amy” where he slows it down with
his gritty voice and tells a story. Another of my favorites is "More Than Miles" which is again a ballad of sorts, but holds great emotion.
His third, and most recent, album is called “Just As I Am”
and is even better! Gilbert teams up with a couple other newer Country Music
singers for the song “Small Town Throwdown” and even includes a music video,
which I think is kind of funny. My hands down favorite song off of this album is "My Baby's Guns N' Roses"and that is because the chorus is something that I mostly do. It goes,
She's shooting whiskey singing sweet child of mine, man.Riding 95 sitting' shot gun pretty,
Turning this town into paradise city.
Runnin' wide ass open.
Just as fast as this thing goes, boy,
Give me some more.
She's my little rock star, man she knows it.My baby's Guns N' Roses."

I went to one of Gilbert's concerts back in May at Red Rocks, and he is FANTASTIC live. A lot of times musicians do not sound as good live as they do on the album, but this is not the case. Unfortunately one of the videos that I took at the concert, but here is one of the pictures that I took!
