Blake Shelton Music Quotations

I moved to Nashville at 17 to make music, and since then I've put everything I have into doing it right.

I probably have the crappiest tattoo - not only in country music - but maybe the world.

Country music has to evolve in order to survive.

Going to college and studying music is not a bad idea at all. I don't know if you can go to college and be taught heart.

I grew up listening to 1980s country music, mostly. Early '90s. That time period was my favorite.

I've never played it safe on my own music.

I've spent a lifetime in love with country music.

My favorite songs to sing have always been songs about regret. I don't know why that is, but to me, that's country music.

In country music, one of the ways we may have gone wrong in the past is trying to be politically correct all the time.

My critics are pretty tough. I've never been one of the music industry's pets.

I got a job working at a publishing company, Balmur Music, which was a company that Anne Murray was a co-owner in, as a tape copy guy. Eventually, I got fired from that job.
