Shelton pushes "Minimum Wage"
"I heard 'Minimum Wage' over a year ago and connected with it immediately," said Shelton. "It's the timeless truth that you don't need a lot of money or possessions, you just need love."
Written by Nicolle Galyon, Corey Crowder and Jesse Frasure, "I relate so much to the lyrics of this song," said Shelton. "I have a lot of great memories playing dive bars in Nashville and then driving back to Oklahoma to play a gig,."
"I gravitate toward songs that feel like the stories of where I've been and where I am currently in my life, and I've got a lot of happiness in joy in my life these days."
The song presumably will be on a Shelton disc slated to come out later this year.
"Minimum Wage" follows back-to-back love songs with his fiancé and fellow The Voice coach, Gwen Stefani. "Nobody But You" and most recently "Happy Anywhere" both reached number one on the country airplay charts, Shelton's 28th career chart-topper.

Blake Shelton has been openly critical of the traditional album format. "Fully Loaded: God's Country" is his fourth greatest hits album and third in the "Loaded" series. In an effort to release music more often, he packages five new songs with seven of previously released material that has received considerable airplay and time on the charts.
if you're looking for the fresh stuff, this is essentially an EP spearheaded by the Platinum lead single "God's Country. ...
Blake Shelton's 11th studio album finds The Voice advisor in a contented, one might even say homey, frame of mind. The opening track and first single "I'll Name the Dogs" sets the tone. It's a rollicking ode to domesticity that manages to make household chore distribution ("You find the spot and I'll find the money / You be the pretty and I'll be the funny") both romantic and amusing. The beat switches to hip-hop on "Money," but the sentiment ...
This six-song "Blake Shelton Live EP" seems a little odd. It's not as though Shelton had an especially noteworthy tour to document. Besides, at only six songs long, it's a relatively short document, anyhow. While it may be little more than a post-it note of a project, though, it also packs a powerful punch.
You recognize right away the large amount of enthusiasm the act of singing to an audience brings out of Shelton. When compared to the recorded versions of these hits, ...
