Brantley Gilbert

Music industry is huge in the United States, and every now and then new artists join in to take part in a never ending race towards success and fame. But very few of them are blessed with such an immense talent that they attract hoards of listeners towards them as soon as they start their career. One example of such extra ordinary performers is Brantley Gilbert.

 
American country music sensation Brantley Gilbert joined the industry not so long ago, i.e. in 2005 as a singer as well as song writer. His home town is Jefferson, Georgia, and has worked predominantly in country and country rock music. Although he has released only two albums in his short career a yet, the magnitude of his artistic success and fan following has been impressive.
 
Gilbert was always interested in music as a hobby in his childhood and adolescence, but did not think of becoming a full time performer until he was 19 years old. According to his friends and family, BrantleyGilbert had an accident in his late teens in which he could barely escape. He remained under treatment for a long time and survived the injuries, but the incident served to change his life altogether. After the accident, he was a different man, and believed that he should be doing something more significant with his life. It is said that it was after that accident that he decided to go all out for a career in professional music.
 
The color of his music is categorized most of the times as country and country rock, but according to some critics his work is beyond the boundaries of genre named country. There is a special wildness about his creations, and the liberty he takes when composing his songs makes them conspicuous and breathtaking. Most of the music lovers believe Brantley Gilbert creates masterpieces every time he creates something.
 
Initially, Gilbert worked solo, writing his own songs and practicing to perform them to perfection. However, according to his own account, he always wanted to make a band that could provide country listeners with the unique music they always deserved, and bring his dream of a world class band to life. The dream band that he always wanted to make, according to Gilbert, was one that could perform equally well in country, soul as well as rock music, and was altogether different from all those operating at present. Nevertheless, his dream of making a band was never completed until recently when he joined Valory Music Group.
 
Like every great artist, Gilbert also had to face many difficulties in his early life as a musician. He started his professional career at his home town, but soon moved to Nashville, where he believed his artistic capabilities could flourish even better. He also made a record label deal with Warner Chappell Publishing for the label Average Joe’s Entertainment. His work there was mostly in collaboration with the renowned artists Jason Aldean and Colt Ford.
 
Brantley Gilbert released his first album in 2009 that was originally scheduled to be released in 2006. The title was Modern Day Prodigal Son, and the recording company decided not to release it in 2006 at the eleventh hour. It took the artist about 3 more years to have the album released finally. His second album titled Halfway to Heaven was released the next year i.e. in 2010. Both the albums returned critically and commercially positive feedback. After the release of his second album, he signed a deal with Valory Music Group division of Big Machine Records, and released Halfway to Heaven again as a deluxe edition.
