Shelton donates $600K to Oklahoma hospital
Shelton donated $600,000 to the Jimmy Everest Children's Hospital. "They don't turn any kids away. You come in there, you have a problem, they don't turn anybody away, so I thought 'That's a place that needs some money," said Shelton from the stage. "Let's all do the right thing. This is our money, Oklahoma."
More than 22,000 fans came for a show that included a surprise appearance by Shelton's girlfriend, Gwen Stefani, who joined Shelton on their duet "Go Ahead And Break My Heart," and opening act RaeLynn.
The tour hits the midwest next weekend with stops in Peoria, Ill. and a two-night stand in St. Paul, Minn. The tour wraps Oct. 8 with two shows at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Shelton also is filming season 11 of The Voice, which includes this season's special mentor, Bette Midler. "Bette is such an icon and she's done everything in the entertainment business there is to do and done it at a top level. We were all in awe being around her for the taping and it's such a great experience for my team to have had her as a mentor." Midler joins Joan Jett, Sammy Hagar, and Charlie Puth as mentors this season which returns on Sept. 19 on NBC.

CD reviews for Blake Shelton
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.
