Armed with a chart-topping hit with "Bottoms Up," Brantley Gilbert is already off to a great start in the next chapter of his career with his latest album Just As I Am – the first album of all new music from Brantley in four years. Brantley had a hand in writing each of the 11 tracks which all add up to a personal look inside his life and career. Brantley explains, "I have always said that each of my albums has told a story…my story, and this album is no different. This one picks up where Halfway to Heave left off. I have gone through a lot the past few years…a lot of highs and lows and all of that is reflected in this project." He adds, "My fans know I'm a straight shooter so I didn't leave anything out." The project is in stores now and a deluxe edition of the album, featuring three additional songs, is available exclusively at Walmart.
Along with his new album, Brantley recently wrapped his Let It Ride Tour which included openers Eric Paslay and Thomas Rhett. And, in the coming months, BG Nation can hear Brantley take on Mötley Crüe as he puts his own stamp on the band's "Girls Girls Girls." The track is featured on Nashville Outlaws: A Tribute To Mötley Crüe which will hit stores on July 8th.
