Shelton readies new single

Monday, October 26, 2009 – The video for Blake Shelton's new single, Hillbilly Bone, will premiere exclusively on Yahoo! Music on Oct. 30. The music video single will be available for purchase on iTunes beginning Nov. 3.

The video stars Shelton and his long-time friend Trace Adkins, who duets with Shelton on the track. "I had the best day shooting this video with Trace. He has been a great friend for many years and for him to take time out and come down and play a hillbilly with me was so cool. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Trace is one funny guy," Shelton said. "Blake and I have been great friends for a long time now," Adkins said. "He is hands-down, one of the funniest guys I know, so doing this song and video with him was really a no-brainer."

Hillbilly Bone, written by Luke Laird and Craig Wiseman, is a comedic, sing-along song about being so different, but yet the same. The track is the first single from Shelton's forthcoming CD release-the follow up to Shelton's 2008 album "Startin' Fires."

CD review - Texoma Shore 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 ...
CD review - Live EP 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, ...
