The star has never burned brighter for Blake Shelton than it does as the time of the release of Based On A True Story?, the first album released by The Voice mentor after his monumental CMA Entertainer of the Year award from 2012.
Classic country fans may dig "Lay Low," a song which cannot be seen as anything but a groove-filled Neo-Traditional Country song (it was written by Dean Dillon, Dave Turnbull and Tim Nichols). They may also like "My Eyes" and "Doin' What She Likes." They will probably scoff at "Country On The Radio" and "Small Town Big Time," the former because it talks about all the trendy songs that describe the virtues of small town life while the latter one uses auto tuning to help prove a lyrical point (as a sort of plot device).
