Description of Blake Shelton:
Oklahoma-born country newcomer Blake Shelton recently made a big splash with "Austin," his first hit single, a cleverly rendered love ballad built as much on lyric contrivance as inspiration. But Shelton's self-titled debut CD, produced by the great veteran country songwriter Bobby Braddock, also contains quite a few harder-hitting, meatier tunes. "Old Red," for instance, is a twangy and resolutely down-home prison tale that Shelton imbues with growling tongue-in-cheek humor. "Same Old Song" is a subtle but soulful Braddock-penned putdown of the current state of country music, to which Shelton brings all the passion and conviction the song deserves. On the socially conscious "Problems at Home" (which Blake cowrote with Billy Montana and Don Ellis), the young singer laments far weightier issues, like school shootings and the destruction of the Amazon rain forests, with similar fervency. On these songs and others, the twenty-something neo-honk-tonker shows just the kind of musical vision and hard-country instincts that are so woefully lacking in the current crop of Nashville hipsters. --Bob Allen
Blake Shelton Reviews:
Love Blake Shelton! 
2008-09-24 - What can I say, I have four of his albums and I love them all! I can't think of one song on ANY of the CD's that I don't like. I've seen him live, twice, and he's just as good in person. Puts on a great show. I just about wore out all of his CD's as I've played them over and over. I turned all three of my girls into Blake Shelton fans.
I look forward to any new CD's he has coming out in the future. Blake is one of those artists that you don't need to hear any of the song before you buy them. You know you won't be disappointed.
Oh, did I mention he's cute?
Good CD, love Austin 
2008-05-04 - We saw Blake Shelton in concert and LOVED it. This CD is almost as good. We just love Austin. The CD was in very good condition.
Blake Shelton made me a country music lover!
2008-01-19 - This CD contains less evidence of Blake's "signature wit" than his other projects. But Blake's high energy and incredible storytelling (and guitar playing) ability is showcased beautifully throughout. His sentimentality on is display in "Austin" - I'd love to adapt it for my own answering machine. And "Ol' Red" is a rugged and touching effort, as well. This is a great CD from the artist who made me take another look at country music! I'll have to learn to two-step.
I was smitten by Blake Shelton's humor during the "Clash of the Choirs" and really hoped he would win the contest because of the amazing sound his choir produced. This prompted me to borrow every one of his CDs from the library. WOW! And I am NOT a country music fan! Well, maybe now I am... Blake's humor (and tender heart) comes through loud and clear in his music.
Great CD
2007-10-25 - This is a birthday gift for my 11 year old daughter who thinks that "Ol' Red" is the greatest song of all time. I can't wait to see her face when she opens this!
Good CD for classic Blake Shelton songs!
2007-07-20 - I got this CD because it had all the earlier Blake Shelton songs I've enjoyed all on one CD. Got just what I wanted and was expecting. Great CD if that's what your looking for!
