Editorial Reviews
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 with relative ease.

Blake Shelton's 'Startin' Fires' is sure to burn up the charts!,
By Lori "CntryMomma" (Northwest Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Startin' Fires (Audio CD)
1. Green
This song has both a great sound and beat. It will surely make any American farmer nod in agreement ... 'cause after all, they were "green before green was a thing". Not seeing Al Gore downloading this song to his ipod. : o ~ 2. Good At Startin' Fires Only took me 5 seconds to decide I was a gonna love this song. It sort of reminds me of 80's country. And hmmm . . . I have NO IDEA who was the inspiration behind this tune. *wink*{Miranda Lambert just so ya know. *wink*} CMA stages aren't the only thing my girl has set on fire! 3. She Wouldn't Be Gone Blake's first and current hit off the album. It is unlike anything I've heard him perform. I love it love it love it and can't see myself gettin' sick of it anytime soon! I have no idea who wrote the song but I'd love to give 'em a pat on the back. ;o) Creatively written. 4. I'll Hold On Here, Blake sings about an intoxicating love that has no future. Good song. 5. 100 Miles Lookin'-back-and-realizing-you-had-the-real-thing-all-along songs never get old 'cause folks never stop messing up love. 6. Never Lovin' You What I like to call "laid-back-honky-tonk" rock. =) 7. Country Strong Explains why all those farm boys were so cute growing up; both physically and otherwise. *wink* A great salute to our farmers and the great women behind the farmers. 8. Home Sweet Home This song is all about just being proud of where you come from. I see this song played out in my town every day. 9. This Is Gonna Take All Night All I have to say about this song is, "Well, now ...*hint hint wink wink*" 10. Here I Am This song just makes me smile 'cause it reminds me of falling in love. Very nice. 11. I Don't Care Lyrically, this song is my favorite on the album. And it's beautiful too. Heck, I'll just say it ... I recommend that you listen to track first. It's start off very melancholy but there's a twist ... and it's just too good, so listen carefully. :o) 12. Bare Skin Rug Ohh, 'tis the song the record label never wanted to be. LOL When I read this, I thought, whatever for? . . . How bad could it be?! . . . It's Blake and Miranda around a campfire . . . unplugged! Well . . . *giggles* . . . after listening to it I can somewhat understand their hesitation. But they both sound great. In a world of sterotypes, if someone outside the country music genre were to write a country song, I imagine it would sound a whole heck like this. (Minus the change of one word.)You'll see why. LOL It's hilarious! Hey, even hillbillies need a lil' love. ;o) ******** I hope this album gets the recognition it deserves. There was no doubt that Blake has one of the finest voices in country music today. This album full of solid songs will showcase his rich voice. Enjoy!

Awesome album!,
By
This review is from: Startin' Fires (Audio CD)
I liked his last album, but I love this one! I wanted to stop half-way through my first listen to review it with 5 stars. Now I've played it every day since I bought it. The lyrics are great. More importantly, the melodies are more intricate that the songs you hear on the radio. A single song will have four or five hooks, not the usual one, so you just want to play the cd over again.

Best Album Yet,
By D Murda (Long Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Startin' Fires (Audio CD)
I'm not even that big of a country music fan in general, but I've been hooked on Blake Shelton ever since I saw him in concert for the first time after the release of Barn & Grill. Now I've got every one of his albums... they are just so much fun to listen to.
Anyways, Barn & Grill had been my favorite album far and away to this point, but Startin' Fires may have overtaken it. This is a well done, fun album all the way through with catchy tunes that'll make you want to jump up and dance. My favorites are Green, Startin' Fires, and Country Strong, but there isn't a single song to skip over throughout the disc. I don't care what you normally listen to... buy this CD, stick it in your stereo, and see if you can make yourself take it out!
