"So Help Me God," Gilbert goes deluxe

Friday, February 24, 2023 – Brantley Gilbert will be out with "So Help Me God (Deluxe Edition)" on April 21 via The Valory Music Co

"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.

1. "Heaven By Then" with Blake Shelton featuring Vince Gill | Brantley Gilbert, Brock Berryhill, Michael Hardy, Jake Mitchell, Randy Montana, Hunter Phelps, Taylor Phillips

CD reviews for Brantley Gilbert

CD review - Fire & Brimstone It would be easy (and lazy journalism) to write about how much Brantley Gilbert's music is un-country. You need only isolate the drum parts for most of these latest songs to confirm this is primarily a rock recording (masked as country). However, there are some quality - if not exactly country - songs on this effort, which cry out for a different sort of evaluation.

CD review - The Devil Don't Sleep For those fans worrying over the potential demise of bro country, rest easy; Brantley Gilbert is here to keep that flag flying high. Comprised of a solid set of radio ready rockers alongside a few tamer numbers, Gilbert sets out to prove the establishment wrong, rolling his way through 16 tales of hard living and partying. Yet, while Gilbert holds strong to the "bro country" stance, he's also very much his own man, allowing his faith and values to pull front and center as well. ...
CD review - Just As I Am: Platinum Edition With the third version of Brantley Gilbert's "Just as I Am," he has almost doubled the average country album track listing. The definitive Platinum Edition contains 19 tracks that feature his trademark rock inflected country sound. The original 11 tracks are still intact, with the addition of the 3 songs from the original deluxe edition. Added on at the end are five new songs that largely fit well with the tone of the album. Those who originally purchased the regular edition ...
