People are scrambling to figure out how they can prolong the life of an album. But as long as the shelf space continues to shrink at retail, there’s just no room for them anymore… which is fine with me! I would love to be the next person in country to just release digital singles, but I think we’re probably a little ways from that. Blake Shelton Read Quote
I’m a huge Joe Nichols fan, and he put this song out an album called ‘Real Things.’ I was excited for Joe when I heard it, thinking ‘that will easily be Joe Nichols’ career song.’ I was even more excited when they got out of that album and they never released it as a single, because then I was like, ‘Now that’s gonna be my career single.’ Blake Shelton Read Quote
When I hear other artists talk, they talk about ‘How come radio’s not playing my song?’ Well, you have to look at it under a microscope and know that each station is just trying to do what’s right for their market, and it’s scary for a radio station to add a song that they don’t know how well it’s gonna do for them.

My favorite songs to sing have always been songs about regret. I don’t know why that is, but to me, that’s country music. Blake Shelton Read Quote
I remember telling the head of Warner Brothers that if they’d just make a video for ‘Ol’ Red’… and if it didn’t work, they could drop me from the label. Blake Shelton Read Quote
I would not want to be Richard Simmons… right now or anytime. He seems like a nice guy, but if I had to dress like that? That would absolutely suck. Blake Shelton Read Quote
I think just knowing you’re married and having that in the back of your mind all the time – it sounds official, but it doesn’t really feel any different. We don’t do anything differently than we did before. Blake Shelton Read Quote
I grew up listening to 1980s country music, mostly. Early ’90s. That time period was my favorite. Blake Shelton Read Quote
