Fatherhood has definitely softened up Brantley Gilbert, although he does joke, “If it’s true that you pay for your raising, I hope everybody likes this next album because it may be my last. I don’t think I’ll make it through it.”
In all seriousness, Brantley’s son Barrett is only two, and he says, “He’s still young, you know, everything’s new to him every day. But they teach you things and remind you of how important the little things are and his discovery of different things just reminds me to take kinda everything in and don’t take anything for granted. Every second, every moment I have with him, it’s a constant reminder to make the best of it.”
In honor of Father’s Day, this Friday, Brantley will release a new song he wrote for his son called “Man Who Hung the Moon,” which will be on Brantley’s next album, along with his latest single, “What Happens in a Small Town.”

“Oh gosh, I can say this, If it’s true that you pay for your raising, I hope everybody likes this next album because it may be my last. I don’t think I’ll make it through it. He’s still young, you know, everything’s new to him every day. But they teach you things and remind you of how important the little things are and his discovery of different things just reminds me to take kinda everything in and don’t take anything for granted. Every second, every moment I have with him, it’s a constant reminder to make the best of it.”
