Brantley Gilbert is releasing a Platinum Edition of his latest album, Just As I Am, featuring five new tracks, including a remix of his #1 hit, “Bottoms Up,” featuring rapper T.I.. Incorporating T.I. into the track was a natural fit because Brantley says, “This is one of those songs that is kind a on a ‘Dirt Road Anthem’ vibe. It was kind of a laid back, had a little bit a Hip-Hop, R&B influence in it.”
Brantley didn’t know when he wrote the song that it would go on to be a #1 hit because he says, “I’m not so good at my job that I know what’s gonna be a number one at radio. I just sit down and try to write the best songs for the time we’re given,” but he’s thankful it was such a success.
The Platinum Edition of Just As I Am will be released on May 19th, featuring Brantley’s latest single, “One Hell of an Amen.”

Brantley Gilbert – Bottoms Up different :34
“This is one of those songs that is kind a on a ‘Dirt Road Anthem’ vibe. It was kind of a laid back, had a little bit a Hip-Hop, R&B influence in it. I’m not so good at my job that I know what’s gonna be a number one at radio. I just sit down and try to write the best songs for the time we’re given and there was a lot goin’ on in that song. You would a looked at the, like the ProTools, that was just like super long. It was huge. But, we ended up strippin’ it down and it was kind a simplistic, but it ended up awesome. I’m really, really proud of it.”
