Here we go again with a Blake Shelton record and thank you for that! Country music has so much garbage music coming down the pipe now that great songs are not finding their way out of the commercial sludge of 70's styled AM pop or R&B ballads that are being coloured with a twang. Blake's new album has a little of that stuff but the major difference is that you get a song like "Sunny In Seattle" which eclipses rotten cabbage like "Need You Now" by the untalented piece of shit trio Lady Antebellum.
The album is chalk full of strong songs that outside of the overwrought and unnecessary "God Gave Me You" which by a million miles is the worst tune on Red River Blue. Blake's character and sense of humor lends itself well to "Get Some" and "Hey" a couple of fun country songs that will be getting lots of plays on the I-pod this summer. I deem this album a complete winner and thank Blake for being true to himself and not selling out and recording faceless drivel just to make sure that those moron's at country radio will play his music.
Song Highlights: Hey, Drink On It, Get Some, Honey Bee & Good Ole Boys
