Just out of high school, Warner Bros. recording artist Blake Shelton left Oklahoma to move to Nashville. Back home at only 16 years old, Shelton had received statewide focus when he won the Denbo Diamond Award, the top award for young Oklahoma entertainers. In Nashville, Shelton was able to get several material published with Naomi Martin Music, Warner/Chappell Music, and Jerry Crutchfield music. Shelton turned his songwriting into a successful recording in 2001 with his debut single, “Austin”; the song eventually spent five weeks at number one. “All Over Me” and “Ol’ Red” followed in 2002, allowing Shelton’s record to go gold. His star power was on the rise and Shelton was as busy as ever. He wasted no time recording a follow-up release. The Dreamer appeared in February 2003, hot on the heels of the Top Ten single “The Baby.” A third album, Blake Shelton’s Barn & Grill, was put forth in 2004, along with a DVD, Blake Shelton’s Barn & Grill: A Video Collection. In 2007 he put forth the cleverly titled Pure BS on Warner, came by Startin’ Fires in 2008.

Blake’s latest project is the release of a dual set of “six-packs”. Six tracks per CD at a slightly lower-than average price, including hit tracks like “Hillbilly Bone” featuring Trace Adkins. The “six pack” format bucks traditional album templates and sales models, while allowing fans to get new music more frequently.

Posted on by

Yes, you heard it right all you Blake Shelton fans, he is releasing an additional 6-pack. Blake Shelton delivered the news at the 2010 CMT Music Awards that his next 6-pack will be released on August 10th. This new 6-pack will feature his current single “All About Tonight” as well as a song co-written by fiance Miranda Lambert and Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum entitled “Suffocating”. Blake says this of the new but really not so new concept of EP’s, “It does make me feel more creative. It’s ongoing recording, which is a lot of fun for me. I feel like I’m making a mini Greatest Hits every time I put out one of these, ’cause I feel strongly about each and every one of those songs. It’s more of a dynamite in a small package kind of thing.”Country Music Photo Gallery

A guitar to make Blake Shelton stand out? As if he needs it! Blake Shelton is getting his own brand of electric guitar, a classic ‘cammo’ design that utilizes green, brown and black colors and you can own one for about $699. According to the Michael Kelly Guitar Company press release, “The Blake Shelton Signature Michael Kelly guitar is a solidbody electric with a thick, deeply arched Maple top, Mahogany body and neck, Ebony fingerboard, Grover® Rotomatic™ tuners and two Rockfield humbucking pickups. It produces big, rich tones with excellent sustain and – due to its thick Maple top – an articulate treble response.” Which I have on good authority, an excellent guitar!Country Music Photo Gallery

Blake Shelton: Hillbilly Bone Release

Posted on by

Blake Shelton celebrates the release of Hillbilly Bone Blake Shelton is riding high on the amazing success of his upcoming album’s title track, “Hillbilly Bone“, but will the rest of the album fare as well? I think so, and here’s why: Over the last few years Blake has become a more developed and outspoken artist whose music has really started to match his personality. Authentic and unapologetic, Blake Shelton has quickly gained notoriety as a beautiful smartass thanks to his random Twitter outbursts. Ranging from antagonizing the animal rights group PETA, to expressing thoughts that can be found in the drunken mind of most men on a Friday night. With songs on the new album like “Hillbilly Bone” and “You Can Kiss My Country Ass” you can be sure Blake has no reservations about speaking his mind, and we like that! Make sure to head either out to the store or over to www.blakeshelton.com tomorrow morning and grab your copy of Blake Shelton’s Hillbilly Bone!Country Music Photo Gallery

Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins Team Up

Posted on by

Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins pair up to pick a “Hillbilly Bone”. Fans of Blake Shelton and Trace Adkins can now take a listen to the “Hillbilly Bone” collaboration posted on www.blakeshelton.com. “When I first heard ‘Hillbilly Bone,’ I knew it was one of those songs that would kick the door down, and who better to kick the door down with me than my buddy TRACE. It’s one of those songs you can’t get out of your head, and for TRACE and I both, it was one of those songs that made sense since we are pretty much both ‘Hillbilly’ to the core.”- Blake Shelton Country Music Photo Gallery
