Brantley Gilbert recently shared his new duet with Ashley Cooke, "Over When We're Sober."

Gilbert's knack for crafting poignant ballads shines on the powerful duet with the ACM New Female Artist of the Year nominee.

The song is available now via The Valory Music Co.

"From the moment we started writing, I knew this song was something special," reflects Gilbert. "We knew we wanted another voice on it, and my producer Brock Berryhill suggested Ashley. I love her voice, and I knew she would take it to the next level. I'm grateful to have someone as talented and dedicated as her join me on this song."

"When Brantley called me about this song, I listened to the demo and it was an immediate yes," shares Cooke. "I've been a fan for truly so long - in fact, my Christmas present from a college boyfriend one year was a road trip to Atlanta just to see BG's show. It's such an honor to get to be on a song with someone I've admired for so long. Not to mention, one of the realest, funniest, most talented guys I've met on this journey so far. So thankful BG wanted me on this one!"

Written by Gilbert with Jelly Roll, Brock Berryhill and Justin Wilson, Gilbert and Cooke bring a dynamic blend of passion and regret to "Over When We're Sober," underlining the complexities of yearning.

Jelly Roll Announces First-Ever International Shows In Canada

Jelly Roll has announced that he will perform two shows in Canada next month. The concerts will mark the "Save Me" singer's first-ever international shows.

According to the announcement, Jelly Roll will perform at the Meridian Center in St. Catharines, Ontario, on July 8. The show will benefit the Heather Winterstein Foundation.

On July 9, Jelly Roll will play at Ottawa's Bluesfest, as part of a lineup that includes Carly Rae Jepsen, Charley Crockett, Future Islands, Killer Mike, Maroon 5, Mt. Joy, and several others.

"The Heather Winterstein Foundation and the family of Heather Winterstein are grateful that Jelly Roll is honouring us with his very first Canadian concert on our behalf," Foundation executive director Jennifer Dockstader said in a statement. "His dedication to raising awareness, sharing his story of healing, and supporting substance use disorder treatments are a beacon of hope for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike across Turtle Island. His message brings the struggles of our loved ones into the open and helps us celebrate the healing journeys of our relatives in our community, offering opportunities for equity and reconciliation."

"When the opportunity to bring in Jelly Roll surfaced, we jumped on it," Ottawa Bluesfest executive and artistic director Mark Monahan said in a statement. "He has an amazing story, and he's a great performer."

Jelly Roll has not toured overseas due to visa restrictions tied to arrests and convictions earlier in his life.

"It's funny, America has finally agreed to let me leave and give me a passport, but some countries won't let me come because of my felonies," Jelly told Jon Bon Jovi in an interview earlier this month. "We're working on that. I think it's going to work in my favor."

Time magazine's Person Of The Year announced in an emotional speech at the first concert of a three-night stint in Liverpool, England, last Thursday that her record-breaking tour will wind up in December.

"You know, this is actually the 100th show of the tour," Swift says in a video captured by a fan. "That blows my mind. That doesn't feel like a real statistic to me, because this has definitely been the most exhausting, all-encompassing, but most joyful, most rewarding, most wonderful thing that has ever happened in my life, this tour, these moments with you."

"You know, a lot of you were like, 'Well, how are you going to celebrate the 100th show?'

Miranda Lambert Shares Fiery New 'Wranglers' Video

Miranda Lambert Shares Fiery New 'Wranglers' Video

Country superstar Miranda Lambert recently released a video for her song "Wranglers."

The video, directed by Lambert's longtime collaborator Trey Fanjoy, was filmed outside Austin, Texas. The hot visuals harken back to Lambert's fiery breakthrough hit "Kerosene," with the singer using a replica can of kerosene and the same book of matches from that song's video for the "Wranglers" visual.

The video finds Lambert and pals consoling a friend in the aftermath of a breakup, with the group holding a ceremonial bonfire of the ex's belongings and proving that, in fact, "Wranglers take forever to burn."

Audra Mae, Evan McKeever and Ryan Carpenter wrote "Wranglers," which Lambert says "is a classic tale of a woman taking her power back."

"I think we can all identify with the character in this video because we have all had a time in our life where we needed to find our strength, and also get a little revenge on someone who did us wrong or hurt us. This offers such a cool, raging take on how something like this unravels; I am so proud to sing this song," she adds.
