Brent Cobb on the life-changing experience that led to him recording a gospel album I always wanted to record a gospel album, because historically in the history of country music, as a country singer, that’s what you do. There wouldn’t be country music if there wasn’t gospel music first. And that’s where it all came from. So I always knew one day I would do this. In July of 2020, my son and I were in a pretty bad car accident. We were t-boned, it could have been a lot worse. My son was doing great and he had one at the time. I just broke my collarbone. It could have been a lot worse. You start to see like, everything that leads up to a moment like that. Like that morning, I had to turn around and go get something that I forgot at home. And then I took a different route to go through this rural four-way stop that I’ve been driving by my whole life. And it all happened, I just thought, well, maybe I should go ahead and make this gospel album. Because you might not get the chance, you know? Brent Cobb on Writing ‘When It’s My Time’ With His Wife So [my wife and I] I moved back to Georgia in 2018. I stopped touring for a while when my daughter was born. And then when I really started getting busy again, we decided to move back to Georgia so she could have some help while I was on the road. And that’s where our whole family lives. When that happened, as you know, the whole game in Nashville for writing is co-writing, that’s what you do. And I really enjoy the camaraderie of it all and the experience. And since we’re down there, I can’t write with just anybody, we write together. She’s way smarter than me, she’s actually a pharmacist. And she has great taste in music and really good instincts and writing. And so in the evenings when we get the kids down and we have that three-hour window to hang out, most of the time we go out on the back porch and we write songs together. We wrote a couple together on my last album and then [“When It’s My Time”]. Usually the albums I do are all written by me, except one, it might be the one I do written by someone else, but this album [‘And Now, Let’s Turn to Page…’] is the opposite. It is all traditional gospel except for [“When It’s My Time.”] And we sat out there on the back porch and went to town on it.
