Editorial Review:
With his 2001 gold debut album and the #1 country hit 'Austin', Blake Shelter helped lead the back-to-country movement. Now R&R's 2001 breakthrough artist of the year once again sings earnestly and passionately about family and best friends, hard work and dreams on his 2nd album. Featuring 'The Baby'. Warner. 2003.
Description of The Dreamer:
This young Oklahoman suffers no sophomore jinx, as his second album boasts more power, command, and range than the debut that spawned his breakthrough hit, "Austin." With another hit ballad, "The Baby," Shelton again displays his mastery of the heart-tugging story song, while anthems such as "Heavy Liftin'" and the madcap adventure of "Playboys of the Southwestern World" demonstrate his affinity for more muscular fare. "In My Heaven," "My Neck of the Woods," and "Georgia in a Jug" confirm that his country roots run deep, with the production by veteran songwriter Bobby Braddock combining banjos and fiddles with screaming rock guitars and the most contemporary studio technology. The title song and centerpiece of the collection is Shelton's bittersweet reflection on his career, the dream that he wasn't quite prepared to see come true. Yet the confidence he displays on the rest of the CD suggests that he's learning to live with success just fine. --Don McLeese
The Dreamer Reviews:
I'm as far away from country as you can get - love Blake Shelton! 
2009-05-13 - I'm a jazz musician and generally hate country music.
Except for Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, I have little in my collection.
Driving through Idaho the other day, I heard Blake Shelton "The Baby" and my jaw dropped!
First impression - the voice! - worth listening to.
Second impression - lyrics - kept my hand off the dial.
Third impression - tears streaming down my face.
Did Shelton write this song?
Whoever did is a master song writer.
I am now a full blooded Blake Shelton fan - and I may also listen to more country music in the future.
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?
blake shelton
2008-04-07 - blake sheltion what can i say the guy can sing .please hear the song home it is great it must have been a mistake not to write it for him.
Another great CD from Blake Shelton
2008-01-12 - This CD contains less evidence of Blake's "signature wit". Although "Georgia In A Jug" is an amusing song. But Blake's high energy is showcased beautifully in the song "Heavy Lifting". His sentimentality on display in "The Baby" brought tears to my eyes. This is another great CD from the artist who made me take another look at country music!
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.
Terrific CD
2007-06-01 - Really enjoy Blake Shelton. His song "The Baby" reminds me of my younger son.I would recommend this cd.
