The pride of Jefferson, Georgia has broken into the big time. 26 year old Brantley Gilbert is now on the same record label as Reba and Justin Moore, but he has no plans to move to Music City USA. Pretty amazing, actually. "Country Must be Country Wide" is zooming up the charts, but Gilbert's heart remains in his hometown, and I have to give him total respect for that. It's always nice to cheer on people who really appreciate where they've come from, as well as where they are going.
