Blake Shelton - Startin' Fires

Blake Shelton is the perfect contemporary country artist. His rich baritone voice allows him to bounce between traditional-sounding honky tonk material, big romantic power ballads, and pure country corn with relative ease, and his singles are always a welcome thing when they come on the radio. "She Wouldn't Be Gone" is a brilliant portrayal of a man who finally finds his passion and love for a woman when it's way too late and she's already gone, and the chorus swells to passionate, almost white-knuckle perfection. It's a great song and Shelton gives it everything he has. Everything here is professional and well recorded, and Shelton's voice is always a joy to hear.
