Brantley Gilbert\u2019s latest single, \u201cHeaven by Then,\u201d is a collaboration with Blake Shelton, featuring Vince Gill.<\/p>\n
Brantley\u2019s previous collaboration with Lindsay Ell, \u201cWhat Happens in a Small Town,\u201d was just certified Platinum by the RIAA.<\/p>\n
Brantley remembers the first time he heard Lindsay sing, and why he wanted to record the song with her.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the first times I heard her, my mother-in-law wanted to go to the Opry cause she\u2019d never been. So, I was like, hmm. I\u2019m gonna make this happen. I\u2019m takin\u2019 the mother-in-law to the Opry. So, I took Amber and her mom and her little brother to the Opry, and that night Lindsey was playin\u2019. And Grayson, my youngest brother-in-law, just fell in love, man. I mean head over heels. So her name never got too far away cause he was all the time talkin\u2019 about, \u2018Hey man, can you introduce me?\u2019 No. Absolutely not (laugh). I heard her then, and really kind of kept up with her and how hard she works and how hard she grinds, and for somebody that\u2019s grinding like that, you can\u2019t help but wish good things for \u2018em.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In other Brantley news, it was just announced that he’ll join Nickelback on their Get Rollin’ Tour, set to kick off on June 12th and includes a stop at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Detroit on August 13th.<\/p>\n
