Country rock music star Brantley Gilbert revealed who he turns to when things get rough in a recent radio interview.

The 29-year-old said that although he is able to navigate life's trials independently, he still knows who he can always call on, CMT.com reports.

"Don't get me wrong," Gilbert said. "There's always situations where when it gets bigger than me, it's time to go talk to mama and daddy and God.

"But for the most part, I feel like I'm at the age now where I've learned enough to where I can handle situations. And maybe even be the anchor in certain situations more often than not."

The Georgia native also said that he solves many problems on his own because he does not want to be a burden to others.

"It's kinda one of those things where I try my best not to put anything else on 'em than they've already got," he said.

Gilbert certainly has a lot on his shoulders as well. He is currently on the "Let It Ride" national tour, hitting Austin, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Raleigh, Fresno, Tampa, and many other cities through December.

The tour is in promotion of his third studio album, "Just as I Am," released on May 19. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, and No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart. "Just as I Am," which features the single "Let It Ride," was certified Gold in June.

Gilbert's songs sometimes include explicit lyrics, but also occasionally reference his Christian upbringing.

"I was brought up in a small town in North Georgia/raised on southern Baptist morals/in a front row pew for the Sunday roll call/Now everybody praise the Lord," he sings on the country rap song "Dirt Road Anthem Revisited." Gilbert also wrote the original "Dirt Road Anthem," which was recorded by fellow country artist Colt Ford.
