Blake Shelton has shared another taste of his album For Recreational Use Only (due out May 9th) with the new track “Stay Country Or Die Tryin’,” written by Drew Parker, Graham Barham, Sam Ellis and Beau Bailey. The song follow the previously-released singles “Texas,” and the ballad “Let Him In Anyway.”
Shelton says of the song: “When I heard ‘Stay Country or Die Tryin,’’ it took me back to the first time I heard ‘Ol’ Red’ or ‘God’s Country’. It’s got so much energy and is full of those little catchphrases and things we say out in the country. I absolutely fell in love with it. I’m proud of this recording – and I love singing it live even more. Hopefully, you’ll come catch a show and sing it with us.”
The new album For Recreational Use Only features 12 tracks with guest appearances from Shelton’s wife Gwen Stefani, country legend John Anderson and Shelton’s longtime friend and tourmate Craig Morgan. To preorder/presave head HERE.
