To say that Blake Shelton has had an impressive career would be an understatement. He has launched 30 singles to the top of the country charts. He has also taken home dozens of trophies from the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music, among others. Shelton has also taken home three trophies from the American Music Awards. However, he has never performed at the event before. That all changed tonight (May 26).

 

 

 

Shelton brought some Oklahoma charm to Las Vegas with a barn-themed stage production. Weathered planks adorned the screens surrounding the stage, and bales of hay filled the open spaces between the superstar and his bandmates. More than that, the ode to the country lifestyle from his most recent album, For Recreational Use Only, was the perfect introduction to the AMA audience.

Blake Shelton on “Texas,” His 30th No. 1 Single

 

 

 

Written by Johnny Clawson, Josh Dorr, Kyle Sturrock, and Lalo Guzman, Blake Shelton released “Texas” last November as the lead single from his latest album, For Recreational Use Only. The single topped the Country AirCheck chart earlier this month, giving the Oklahoma native his 30th career No. 1.

 

 

 

“This is the perfect opportunity to come back with something so different, and it easily felt like it should be the first single,” Shelton shared in a press release. “It’s connected with what I’ve done, but forward at the same time, and it’s the perfect start to the next chapter of my career,” he added.

 

 

“The thing that struck me about ‘Texas’ immediately was how different it sounded for me, and I’m always looking to push myself,” he said of the song. “I think there’s something really special about this record and important for me,” Shelton added.

 

 

 

“Texas” and For Recreational Use Only mark a significant shift in the “Old Red” singer’s career. He released his 2003 sophomore album, The Dreamer, on Warner Bros. Nashville. He would stay with the label for nearly two decades. The 2021 album Body Language was his final release on the label. He exited his deal with Warner Nashville and inked a new deal with Wheelhouse Records, a subsidiary of BBR Music Group, formerly Broken Bow Records.
