Shelton heads for the "Shore"

Thursday, September 21, 2017 – Blake Shelton will release his 11th album, "Texoma Shore" on Nov. 3.

The release includes his latest single, "I'll Name the Dogs."

"Lake Texoma has always been a place of great memories, new and old," said Shelton. "I literally recorded this album on its shore so it's full circle for me to take the love of this place and my love of country music."

Shelton's last album, "If I'm Honest," was the best-selling country album released in 2016.

"When you listen to the record, it will go from something traditional to something that will make your head spin back to something even more traditional," Shelton said."That's just what you can expect from one of my albums. At this point in my career, it's always good for me to try something different, with different sounds, and I think you'll hear hints of that on this record. I've explored about every part of country music you can explore, and it seems like I always keep coming back to my roots, which is traditional country music. I love great songs and there are so many talented writers in Nashville, but I do have a song on the album that I wrote and I'm very proud of it."

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, ...
