 That's "Pure Blake Shelton," not...well, you know. May 01, 2007
By DanD
PURE BS is probably Blake Shelton's best album to date. I say this as an individual who was there from the beginning; I gobbled up his first record, scars and bruises and all, and it left me wanting more. Two other albums helped propel him to a point where his name is recognized, although he is not yet a consistent hit-maker (despite his superb talent, many of his songs flounder on the charts for reasons unknown). PURE BS, thanks to two new producers (although, fortunately, Bobby Braddock is still on-board), promises to launch Shelton into the stardom he deserves.
The album kicks off with a Shelton co-write, "This Can't Be Good," probably the best song he's recorded yet to showcase his quirky sense of humor (when he declares before the solo "Stay tuned," you're already on the edge of your seat, wondering what happens next). The rest of the album mixes balladry with honky-tonk; "Dont Make Me" is a great pop ballad; "I Don't Care" is a great traditional ballad; and "Back There Again," a gut-wrenching number by Tom Douglas, is somewhere in between. Shelton gives two of his finest vocal performances on "Back There Again" and "I Have Been Lonely." His rendition of Chris Knight's "It Ain't Easy Bein' Me" is infectious, as is the closing anthem, "The Last Country Song" (cameos by George Jones and Jon Anderson are enjoyable, but not necessary). Shelton's rendition of another cover, "She Don't Love Me" (both Billy Ray Cyrus and Trent Willmon have recorded this tune in recent history) is decent, though it lacks the power of the two afore-mentioned versions.
Overall, PURE BS is indeed pure Blake Shelton. It's funny, it's sad, it's dramatic, it's laid back--it's a modern country album by an individual who knows his roots and is proud of them. Blake Shelton makes no compromises, delivers the music he knows he can sing, and he is bound to be a star someday. And with a title like PURE BS, and great music like this, this album is bound to put him there.

You won't skip a single song. May 09, 2007
By Emily Bettevy
"Bona Fide Redneck Girl"
You might say I'm biased because I am proud to call myself a BSer (a Blake Shelton Fanclub member) but I will write this with as little bias as possible.
I rarely come across a cd where every song is a good one. You won't skip a single song on this cd, unlike his first three cd's which all had a few "so-so" songs.
Blake is pure country and this is what I love about this cd. It is Pure Blake Shelton, true country and just fantastic. There are the typical rowdy, country songs and the typical "crooner" songs. Some songs may bring a tear to your eye and some songs will make you wish you had a cold beer in your hand with all your rowdy friends.
Blake has a voice that can sing any type of song and pull off whatever emotion the song requires.
This is a top-notch cd. If you love GOOD pure country music, you will love this cd.

The truest country artist around today Jun 09, 2007
By Larissa Chmielewski
Blake Shelton has proven his country roots by staying true to form with his style of music. Each CD he's released has had a unique blend of ballads, outlaw, honkeytonk and thought-provoking, and just downright fun music. Each CD gets better and better. He's very possible the best kept secret in country music - and while he's successful, he's not overtaken by the powers of the industry to change like other artists have been.

This is a Real "Pure BS" CD from Blake Shelton May 13, 2007
By Bigkhan
"Connie"
Not much BS on this very Pure Blake Shelton album.
As usual the tall Okie delivers some humorous songs such as "The More I Drink" the rockin' "This Can't Be Good" "She Don't Love Me" and the listen to closely "I Don't Care" Austin type song.
"Back There Again" takes you on a vocal trip that only Blake could bring you on, this song just plain stick's in my heart and mind, I can't breath correctly while listening to his delivery.
"The Last Country Song" is one I have been waiting to hear since I had watched a story about George Jones and John Anderson recording this with Blake.
This entire "Pure "CD has the strong and sweet vocals we have come to expect from Blake Shelton. Personally I don't know of another male country artist with so much feeling in his voice. If you ever see Blake singing live watch his face, the expressions are all there, and body language tells you he believes the words he is singing!
I have to admit I love this from the first track to the last, only thing that would have been better is 12 tracks on "Pure BS" for all of his fan's to enjoy.

No BS in this C.D. Feb 26, 2008
By Liquidmetal
I first became interested in Blake when he put the single Austin. It was a hypnotizing track and I knew he would be raking the girls hearts. After a few weeks I bumped into Ol'Red and like any fantastic story teller, Blake peaked my interest and I kept pushing play to hear the story again and again. Fast forward to three months ago. I hadn't given Shelton a second thought for years. I listened to Some Beach with a chuckle but nothing he wrote really made me go "WOW". I saw Blake on Realtree Road Trips with Michael Wadell and was impressed with his acoustic renditions of some of his songs. The itch started to pick up Blake's latest c.d. My wife really liked his music and so I caved in. Within the first few bars of This Can't Be Good! My jaw hit the floor. This was GREAT! His voice had conviction and it was rocking. I must have played that song 50 times that day. The song pegged my adolescent past perfectly. Every time Blake gave out his "Yea" during the turn around I was right there with him. Reliving my past and rocking toward the future. It just hit the spot. Then I bumped into The More I Drink and couldn't stop laughing. Ohhh my God he didn't just sing that line... "Hell even buck tooth and bow legged women start lookin' hot!" I played It Ain't Easy Being Me and I flashed through all the mistakes I've made and damn if he's not singing a song about me. Finally, after listening to every track I realized it. This c.d. is nothing more than a bunch of songs that come from Blake's soul. He put a great amount of creativity in his lyrics and music. It has everything you could ask for in one c.d. I think that this album will turn out to be one of the finest country albums ever created. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good blend of rocking country and soothing ballads. I can't wait to hear what Blake is capable of in the future.
