Chanteur
Country US né le 20 Janvier 1985 à Jefferson (Georgie).
Although
it’s tempting to call Brantley Gilbert a country artist -- he certainly embraces
the outlaw country side of things -- in many ways his music is closer to the
heartland sentiments of artists like John Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen, and
perhaps most apt,
Steve Earle. Gilbert was born in the small town of Jefferson, Georgia, just
outside of Athens. He grew up hearing country music, but he also heard a lot of
Athens rock bands like R.E.M. and the B-52's, and the swaggering Southern rock
of bands like
Lynyrd Skynyrd; at his best, Gilbert blends all of these various strains
together in his music. It was a near-fatal car accident when he was 19 years old
that spurred him to give music his all, and he started writing songs in earnest,
playing mostly solo acoustic gigs before forming a band that could bring his
vision of a hard-stomping country/rock/soul show to fruition. Moving to
Nashville, he signed with Warner Chappell Publishing (his songs have been
recorded by the likes of
Jason Aldean and
Colt Ford) and began working toward completing an album. Modern Day Prodigal
Son finally appeared in 2009 from Average Joe's, which also released the
follow-up, Halfway to Heaven, in 2010. Gilbert signed with Big Machine's Valory
Music imprint in 2011 and the label reissued Halfway to Heaven. With Valory's
support, the album took off: "Country Must Be Country Wide" and "You Don't Know
Her Like I Do" both topped the U.S. Country Charts on their way to being
certified platinum. Two other singles were pulled from the record in 2012 --
"Kick it in the Sticks" and "More Than Miles," both peaking in the Country Top
20s -- and then in 2013, Gilbert began working on a new studio project with
producer Dann Huff.
"Bottoms Up," the first single issued from these sessions, turned into Gilbert's
biggest hit to date in early 2014, reaching number one on the charts on its way
to selling over a million copies. Its success whetted the appetite for Just as I
Am, which saw release in May 2014. Just as I Am went to number one on the
Billboard country chart and number two on the Top 200, eventually getting
certified platinum thanks to the hit singles "Small Town Throwdown," "One Hell
of an Amen," and "Stone Cold Sober." In the summer of 2016 he released "The
Weekend," the first taste from his third major-label album, The Devil Don't
Sleep. After "The Weekend" made it into the Billboard country Top 20, The Devil
Don't Sleep followed in January of 2017. In early 2019, Gilbert paired
with Lindsay Ell for the Top 40 Hot Country Songs single "What Happens in a
Small Town." The track paved the way for the singer's fifth album, Fire &
Brimstone.
