Brantley Gilbert definitely had some wild younger days, and for a long time, he thought his "tough streak" came from his father's side of the family, so he was surprised to learn that that wasn't exactly the case.
"I knew my dad had a temper," the "Bottoms Up" singer recalls in a statement from his label. "My dad was kinda the wild one, but believe it or not, my parents actually met at Bible college. Meetin' my dad now, you would never know that. My mom's always worked at a church and still does.
"And it took me 'til later in my life – I was like, well, my dad's got a temper, I guess I got my rough side from him," he continues. "But come to find out, my temper, my mean streak is actually from my mama's side. It's also where I got most of the music stuff, was from her side.
"I've been digging into a little bit of heritage and ancestry and things like that the past few years, so that's been kinda cool."
