Blake Shelton has been a country artist for many years now. Of course many years ago he used to be the type of country singer that would sing about the “sticks” and being “country”. But the current Blake Shelton sings more about his love life and how to properly treat the ones you love. The emotions that are evokes in his songs can vary from song to song. You could be listening to “Hillbilly Bone” where in the song he sings that everyone has a country side to them and it make you want to go out and party. Or you could be listening to “Who are you when I’m not looking” which he is wondering if the girl he loves is the same girl he sees even when he is not around, which kind of has a love tempo to it. The songs of Blake Shelton relate very similarly to other artists who seemed to have lived the same past life of Blake and in Brantley Gilbert, Trace Adkins, and Craig Morgan. They all will sing about how they work hard during the day and will go out partying at night and celebrate being off work with a cold one. “Hillbilly Bone” and “Who are you when I’m not looking” are two of Blake’s most known songs due to the fact that “Hillbilly Bone” is a song that you would play at a party or sitting around a bonfire or just cruising around in your pick-em-up truck. The critics’ are saying that Blake Shelton has the best voice in country and he is climbing the billboard to #1 which I personally agree with because I believe that Blake has been dedicating himself to his music and he deserves those titles more than any others in the country music industry. Blake Shelton is somebody that I would greatly recommend going out and purchasing his albums because you will not be let down.
