When Brantley Gilbert first got into the music business, his biggest goal was to sell out the Georgia Theater, which holds about 900 people, because it was 20 minutes from his hometown. He did that many years ago, and for a while afterward he considered everything else in his career icing on the cake. But this year, Brantley says, “I want to set some goals that are really up there just to kind a step up our game even more. All of us in this organization from sun-up to sundown are very, very diligent and there’s no lack of work ethic across the board. Everybody’s on top of their game, so I’m really excited to see what happens now that everybody’s engaged and everybody’s on the same page.”
Brantley just released Just As I Am Platinum Edition, featuring the songs off his original Just As I Am album, including his latest single, “One Hell of an Amen,” plus five new tracks, including a remix of “Bottoms Up” featuring rapper T.I.

Brantley Gilbert – setting future goals :33
“My goal in the music business was to sell out the Georgia Theatre’s, 20 minutes from my home town that holds 900 people. We did that when I was 19, so everything since then in the music business has been a bonus. But, this year I want to set some goals that are really up there just to kind a step up our game even more. All of us in this organization from sunup to sundown are very, very diligent and there’s no lack of work ethic across the board. Everybody’s on top of their game, so I’m really excited to see what happens now that everybody’s engaged and everybody’s on the same page.”
