>> Yeah he went
out, 21 guns blazin.<<
A ready to party
attitude, tattoos, a bike,
Guns, friends, a
southern drawl, a ball cap,
Rugged (handsome)
beard, rings, backflips,
And of course, his
well known brass knuckle microphone
All known to be
witnessed in our favorite outlaw, Brantley Gilbert’s music videos.
Brantley Gilbert’s
highly anticipated song “One Hell Of An Amen” was released in November of 2014
with his newest album Just As I Am.
Gilbert revealed that
the song is based on a true story, based on the death of a U.S military soldier
who was a ‘brother’ to one of his close friends.
[unless you’ve been
living under a rock, you know BG writes all of his own stuff & is even
behind some of the biggest songs to hit the airwaves]
I personally, had
high expectations for this music video, when I heard this song for the first
time, I didn’t take it off of repeat for three days. [not kidding]
Brantley and his band
did NOT disappoint. I had chills up and down my spine, the entire 3:46 minutes,
with yes, some tears.
In previous BG
videos, we witness Brantley’s party side such as “Country Must Be Country Wide”
and “Small Town Throwdown” collab with buddies Justin Moore and Thomas Rhett.
However, this soft side comes out in “One Hell Of An Amen” because, to me this
is something incredibly personal and emotional for him.
The video starts out
in a rustic, old run down church, with BG and the band. Clips of Brantley in a
cemetery flash throughout the entire music video and more clips of Brantley on
his “Athens to Arlington” ride he took this spring. And ends with “In Honor of
Jon and Kory, and all of those who have fought the good fight.”
[this ride was in
conjunction with his partnership with Folds of Honor Foundation]
Whether this man is
singing about throwin down, bottoms up, or paying tribute to a fallen soldier;
the passion he has for music and the passion he has for soldiers is outstanding
and admirable.
Give your loved ones
an extra hug tonight, because many families out there are wishing they could
give their loved ones, who is fighting the good fight one last hug.
