I've Had It With Blake Shelton's Pure BS
I loved Blake Shelton's album, Pure BS, from 2007. I thought it was one of his best. One of country's best, even. But you know how it goes: you get obsessed with a CD and then you just kind of overdose on it -- "The More I Drink," "She Don't Love Me," "The Last Country Song" and "She Can't Get That." It was pretty much all I listened to for what seemed like the past couple years. While I liked his other albums, too, I just kept coming back to Pure BS. So now I'm psyched to see that he has new music that he is delivering in a whole new way. Instead of just one 10-song CD, he's releasing two six-song CDs. Hillbilly Bone, the first so-called Six Pak comes out March 2. Then in August, he'll put out another Six Pak of new stuff. "Fans will get more music than me putting out a new album every two years," he said. So enough with the Pure BS. I am so ready for a couple of Six Paks.

I am lookin forward to Hillybilly bone & new music from the best BS’r- Blake! Great idea with the six packs.
Jimmy says:
I like Blake. The six-pak idea is okay as long as the first one sells well. If it doesn’t, then you know #2 won’t ever make it out of the gate. At least with a twelve song album, the entire 12 songs get released. Only time will tell how this will work.
rockerbillie says:
Wonder why his label only allows new music every 2 years? This is a loop around that even if it is 6 songs ea time. He probably has enough songs for a CD per year.
Jimmy says:
“Wonder why his label only allows new music every 2 years?”
That’s easy, they want to squeeze every last ounce of juice out of each album before they release another. That and the fact that said albums aren’t exactly flying off store shelves.
The Labels are trying to figure out how to survive in the modern steal-music-because-you-can world, releasing a lot of new music is probably low on their list of priorities right now.
