On his fourth album, Brantley Gilbert doesn’t back off a bit from the bad-boy/outlaw persona of his earlier outings. In fact, he doubles down on it, achieving a heavier rock crunch than ever with tracks like the raw-boned “It’s About to Get Dirty.” But he intensifies the other side of his sonic personality too: Ballads like the stark, piano-based “Three Feet of Water"—with its emotionally naked meditation on religion’s redemptive power—show that Gilbert remains equally unafraid of getting tender and reflective.
