Props to Cory Batten and Jennifer Aden for co-writing this song! I read every single post on this page and if you all thought Blake did a good job singing it, you should hear Cory sing it. I agree that this song tested Blake’s vocal abilities, and he needs a song like this to show off his voice. If you hear Cory sing it, maybe you would understand where Blake comes from with the way in which he sings “She Wouldn’t Be Gone”. Cory has an amazing voice with an incredible range and Blake was smart to imitate him. So great job, Blake! The real congrats goes to Cory and Jennifer for mixing up the traditional country sound to create a unique one! By the way, just because you can’t sing along with it doesn’t make it a bad song….you just need to hear it a few more times to catch the flow of it. I did! Now go listen to Cory and try to catch a show in Nashville!

The thing that you all don’t understand about Blake is that he is not afraid to choose a song that he feels suits him best. I know Blake personally, and he truly thinks about his song choices that will suit him and his listeners. Blake is purely country and will never be the Rascal Flatts or Kenny Chesney that you all think that he should be. He won’t ever go to the more “Pop Style Country”. Blake has the most incredible voice probably in the country music industry. He honestly tries to put out the best music that will show his vocal ability and also be a song that his fans will love. I love this song because it take him to a new level of his musical ability. His vocal talent is truly amazing and this song shows it. He took it to a new level of not doing the typical “country - i lost my dog” type of country but taking it to a different country level for him but still staying true to what he believes in. I am very proud of you Blake!

I agree with you… Shelton definitely has the potential to leave a legacy… although he’s not there yet. And great comment regarding Chris Cagle’s producer. He’s one of the guys attempting to push Nashville country into the lap of 90s pop/rock… while Third Eye Blind was a great band, the last thing I want to hear is an eventual cover of “Semi-Charmed Life” with fiddles and banjos mixed in.

Anyone think that parts of this sound like “More Than a Memory” at 45 RPM?

The more i hear this song, the more im liking it. Although i think pretty much all of Blakes stuff is well above par of most of the other male country singers these days.

I think it’s a pretty good song. It’s not his best song and there were a lot of other good ones on Pure BS, but this isn’t going to be killing anybody (like “She’s A Hottie” stupidest song).

Stormy: I agree. Marc Broussard’s “Home” is the best of all the “homes.” But I am gaga over pretty much anything he does.

LeeAnn: You will not be sorry familiarizing yourself with Broussard’s catalog.

Chris N: Nice guidelines. I concur and thanks for making me chuckle over the remembrance of the Aimee Mayo thread.

Blake Shelton: Oh, yeah, he was the subject of the thread topic. I think he has great song stylings. I just want him to pick better songs to style. :)
