Shelton freaks out

Shelton will hit the road alongside Brett Eldredge, Carly Pearce special guest Trace Adkins on Feb. 15 in Tulsa, Okla.

"The main thing that I look forward to these days, and honestly I always have, is my live performances," said Shelton. "And even though I'm the first to say that too much time on the road can wear me down, too much time away from the road can break my heart. It's been a while, and I cannot wait to get out there. I think this is going to be my greatest tour yet."

"Taxoma Shore" is out this Friday and includes the single "I'll Name The Dogs." After making its world premiere this morning, Shelton will take another brand new track, "At The House," to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this evening on NBC at 11:35/10:35 center.

5.Money (Craig Wiseman, James Bailey, Ryan Ogren)

As for his touring mates, Shelton claimed, "These are some of the best people I've had on a tour. Brett Eldredge is going to be there with me. I've known that kid for many years now, and it's been fun to see his career grow. He's a great singer and such a funny guy to be around. He's ugly, but it just shows you that enough talent can break down those barriers and he's been able to make it anyway. We're also going to have Carly Pearce out there, and she's had a breakthrough with her first hit this year. Then bringing along my longtime friend and brother Trace Adkins - and who knows what's going to happen with him. To be honest we don't even really have a plan yet, I just knew we needed to spend a little time together, and what better way than out on the road?"
