CURRENT SINGLE: “Heaven by Then” with Blake Shelton, featuring Vince Gill
Brantley Gilbert used to shave his hair off pretty short until a couple of years ago, but now his hair has grown out and he wears it slicked back. He looks great with the new style, but we wondered what inspired him to grow it out.
Brantley Gilbert – longer hair :46
“So, I came home off the road and my son had had his first haircut. And this is probably a couple of years ago. And I walked in, and it was bad. It was real bad. And it made me mad. I was mad at the girl that cut it, I was mad at my wife for lettin’ her do it, and I told Barrett, I was like, ‘Get in the truck. We’re goin’ for a ride.’ And we’re ridin’ around, and I was like, ‘Buddy, do you like your hair? You know, don’t worry about your hair, it’s gonna be fine.’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, I guess.’ And I was like, ‘Well, buddy, you don’t, if you get to where you don’t, it’ll grow back.’ And he said, ‘But yours won’t, daddy.’ And I was like, ‘What are you talkin’ about, mine won’t?’ And he was like, ‘You’re bald.’ My son called me bald, and about the third time he said it I was just like, all right, I’ll show you. You know, I got hair. So, it was supposed to just last long enough to show him that I could grow hair, but I just let it go for a minute.”
