Gilbert is "Over When We're Sober"

Thursday, June 6, 2024 – Brantley Gilbert will release a new song, "Over When We're Sober," a duet with Ashley Cooke, via The Valory Music, on June 21.

"I loved the song from the minute we wrote it," said Gilbert. "When it came time to find a collaborator, my producer Brock Berryhill suggested Ashley. I was so impressed with her writing and her voice. She'd just released a 24-track album. You don't see many people doing that these days, and I thought that also speaks to her work ethic. It's a special song, and I'm so thankful that she agreed to join me on it."

"When Brantley called me about this song, I listened to the demo, and it was an immediate 'yes,'" said Cooke. "I've been a fan for truly so long - in fact, my Christmas present from a college boyfriend one year was a road trip to Atlanta just to see BG's show. It's such an honor to get to be on a song with someone I've admired for so long. Not to mention, one of the realest, funniest, most talented guys I've met on this journey so far. So thankful BG wanted me on this one."

Over the last two years, Gilbert has been writing and recording for his seventh studio album. "Over When We're Sober," written by Gilbert with Jason DeFord (Jelly Roll), Justin Wilson and Berryhill, is one of the collaborations found on the forthcoming project. The Georgia native delivered the first preview with the anthem "Off The Rails" earlier this year.

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. Gilbert saves his best for last with "Man That Hung The Moon," a song about fatherhood that will likely bring many dads to tears. ...
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 ...
