Blake Shelton’s New Album Features Energetic Single ‘Stay Country Or Die Tryin’

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Blake Shelton is set to release his new album, “For Recreational Use Only,” on May 9. The album includes the energetic track “Stay Country Or Die Tryin’,” which was co-written by Drew Parker, Graham Barham, Sam Ellis, and Beau Bailey.

“Stay Country or Die Tryin’” follows Shelton’s previous singles, “Texas” and the heartfelt ballad “Let Him In Anyway.” Shelton expressed his excitement for the new track, stating, “When I heard ‘Stay Country or Die Tryin,’ it took me back to the first time I heard ‘Ol’ Red’ or ‘God’s Country.’ It’s got so much energy and is full of those little catchphrases and things we say out in the country. I absolutely fell in love with it,” he said. “I’m proud of this recording – and I love singing it live even more. Hopefully, you’ll come catch a show and sing it with us.”

The album features 12 tracks, highlighting guest appearances from Shelton’s wife, Gwen Stefani, country legend John Anderson, and longtime friend Craig Morgan. Fans are eager to experience the new music live, as Shelton prepares for performances following the album’s release.
