Product Description
Blake Shelton’s fourth album, Pure BS, released in October 2007, went gold and Top 3 Country, just like his first three albums. In fact, every album has charted higher on the Pop chart than the last one, from Top 40 to Top 30 to Top 20 to Top 10 for Pure BS. Now his latest is being reissued as a Deluxe Edition, featuring three previously unreleased tracks—"Chances," "I Can’t Walk Away" and the new single, a filled-with-strings cover of the Michael Bublé adult contemporary hit "Home." With Pure BS – Deluxe Edition, Blake Shelton stretches out.

5.0 out of 5 stars MORE IS MORE!, June 18, 2008

By	D. McAllister "MRD" (Somewhere in the Field) - See all my reviews

Okay, here's how the marketing mentality works. Take an already released album, add new tracks and the fans, even the ones who bought the original, will rush out and buy it. Right? Absolutely. Sure, there will be those who will be mad as hell. Why are we being treated this way? We're being cheated!

I suppose there may be a slight argument for that sort of thinking, but not, in my opinion, where Blake Shelton's MORE PURE BS is concerned. His hit, "Home," is, all by itself, well worth the extra money and even the addition of what seems a duplicate album to my collection. "Home" is quite easily the finest song that Shelton has recorded and the other two new tracks, "Chances" and "I Can't Walk Away," are wonderful additions to the excellent tracks on the original PURE BS album.

Besides, if you're really bent about the prospect of having to buy the new album, simply download the new tracks from Amazon (for a nominal fee), add them to the original album and have a great listening experience.

With PURE BS and the new MORE PURE BS, Shelton truly emerges as a bona fide Country star and I'll expect a lot more great stuff from him in the future.

THE HORSEMAN

5.0 out of 5 stars A Unique, Instantly Identifiable Talent, January 24, 2009

By	Clinton Ervin "maximus" (Murfreesboro, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This revised release definitely places Blake Shelton in the pantheon of superstar country vocalists. He's distinctive because he's comfortable with tradition and more modern styles too; he could even be called the new archetypical male country singer. Blake has always cultivated the honky-tonk sound and identifies with its crowd, but now he proves he can croon a tender ballad with as well as anyone too.

This disk is unique with a hilarious sense of humor to go with fun, up-tempo songs and ballads. "The More I Drink" is great, along with "The Last Country Song," which also proves he's respectful of country tradition. (Jones and Anderson) "Don't Make Me" is terrific at expressing longing and yearning, a great vehicle for his voice. "Home" will find another audience for Blake Shelton, bringing new fans to him and country music in general.

The key to long-term success seems to be an instantly identifiable style. It isn't enough being a "country hunk" in yet another cowboy hat. Blake is much more. He's got his own style and the pipes to perform any song.

5.0 out of 5 stars classic Blake Shelton, December 17, 2008

By	Gina V. Stiles (Phoenix, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I think this guy is terrific. He definitely has his own distinctive style. Thats' not easy to attain I believe in C & W music. I predict he'll be an even bigger star as the years go by. This CD is classic Blake Shelton. If you've enjopyed his other albums, you'll love this one as well.
