Brantley Gilbert Gets Honest About Addiction, Fatherhood & the Man He Used to Be on God's Country

Brantley Gilbert joins The Brothers Hunt for one of the most honest and funniest conversations ever recorded in God’s Country. Brantley opens up about the addiction that nearly controlled his life, revealing why he never drank simply to have fun—he drank to quiet the noise. He shares what finally pushed him toward sobriety, what Keith Urban told him about performing sober, and the unforgettable advice Toby Keith gave him when he needed to fight his way forward. The boys also dig into Brantley’s new album, Sins of the Father, including the fear that inspired its title track, his prayer that his children won’t have to pay for his past, and how becoming a husband and father completely changed his priorities. Brantley also shares the powerful story behind “Beggin’ for Change” with Jelly Roll and explains why addiction doesn’t care who you are or where you come from. Of course, it wouldn’t be God’s Country without some chaos. Brantley reveals why he broke out an American-flag Speedo on a family beach trip, defends Luke Bryan from his critics, reacts to the Mandela Effect, and explains why winning over ten strangers in a bar can be harder than performing for 30,000 people. This episode has it all: addiction, recovery, faith, fatherhood, country music, hunting stories and plenty of redneck nonsense. Brantley Gilbert’s new album, Sins of the Father, arrives July 24.
