Brantley Gilbert is heading to Lawton, OK on December 17th to headline the 2011 Taste of Country Christmas Tour, but don't assume that the Georgia-born singer will carry on the holiday tradition a la Vince Gill and Amy Grant or John Berry.

As a result, his fans are as loyal as a biscuit is to gravy.
