"So Help Me God," Gilbert goes deluxe
"We've always been a little outside of the box when it comes to writing and recording," said Gilbert. "It's not necessarily something we've done on purpose, but it tends to happen because we always try to serve the song as it takes shape rather than shaping the song to serve us.
"If a song is asking for a harder edge, let's do that. If it feels a little more introspective, let's lean into that. This album intersects across a lot of different genres, and we're proud to say that it's something that happened naturally," he explains.
Gilbert co-wrote all 15 tracks on the project, including current single "Heaven By Then" with Blake Shelton featuring Vince Gill.
Building upon the 10 songs released last year, the deluxe version features five new tracks, including "Behind The Times," co-written with Jake Mitchell, Randy Montana and Taylor Phillips, detailing some of the parts of rural life that can often feel as though they're disappearing in this fast-paced world, while "Wrote The Book Around Here" broadens the view of Gilbert's hometown in previously released "Miles Of Memories," recounting some of his own antics as a young man and how there are some things in this world, and a small town, that never change.
