Overall, this is another Shelton single that makes me hope he turns even more traditional because he has a phenomenal voice and a lot of heart. I’m also a big Jovi fan. Could have written “I fish where I want to … and piss where I swim” for even more authenticity! It won’t be interesting enough to assuage Johnny Cash hipsters to pay attention to commercial radio or have traditional country fans come around on the Blake Shelton legacy, but it makes for a good conversation piece. Unless of course your some pretty boy completely fake sell out who does just as the big label tells you. The one glaring eyebrow raiser for me is the fact that the opening melody of the chorus is a direct lift — cadence and melody — from “Brand New Man” by Brooks & Dunn. And visine. The current single “Dark Horse” failed to reach the charts. Good. Sorry. I think Garrett Shelton’s Song is better than this. But, there are millions who are fans, love his music. April 4, 2019 @ HartsvilleAL Obviously God’s country is everywhere or nowhere. Your entitled. Everything is ash-colored. Devin Dawson had a Top 10 hit with “All On Me”. April 4, 2019 @ Atomic Zombie Redneck Not sure that last time a country song has debuted so well like this. But better than “Money.” So, even though the song is basically of the checklist sort, it’s better than most. Hard pass. I think a few folks are wondering why I bothered to review this song.

He has hit the top charts because fans of all types enjoy his music. 7:28 am, HA! I’ll probably get some abuse for this, but this is just another shallow fist pumping Southern pride and God song that says nothing about the South and everything about the oversize tire truck driving dipshits blasting it. It’s got its flaws, but I’m going to disagree with everyone in the Facebook comments who are trashing this song. “God’s Country” feels inspired, yet its verses begin to feel familiar, list-like, and self-affirming in almost an indulgent manner as the song progresses, however poetically composed they may be, and powerfully delivered by a clearly impassioned Blake Shelton they are. I am surprised that Blake seems to be doing that. I was turned off by the electronic beats hand claps, but it’s a step up form a lot of what’s on the radio. But judged among its peers and the patterns that Blake Shelton has carved for himself in now nearly 20 years of releasing music, “God’s Country” is unexpected, expressive, passion-filled, and hard not to feel the power of.

The reason I dislike him is for ALL THE SHITTY songs he records when he doesn’t even have to work another day in his life if he doesn’t want to . George Strait has a corker of a religious song on the new record. And no mistaking it, the initial burst of the song inspires a carnal reaction, like a wave of thunder rolling out from the clouds and rumbling the ground at your feet. 10:53 am. I'm excited about it.". Later some actual drums may chime in, if they weren’t administrated by a central processing unit as well for consistency. But this one, I just wrote a song that we loved, and it was the right timing, and the stars aligned. April 4, 2019 @ I get it the meaning. I like the chord progressions, and even though the melody isn’t anything crazy, the way it’s presented makes me really dig it.

This isn’t one of them. 10:32 am, Barstool Hero All of these things Blake Shelton has done recently. I’m not a Southerner and I thought that the devil certainly had stayed in Georgia for a long while. 9:41 pm. Not a terrible song, but I can’t help imagining Blake listening to Tyminski and saying “Let’s do that, but dumber”. May 24, 2019 @ Brooks and Dun need to get their money for royalties on the first line of the chorus. He’s playing Deal or No Deal where every case holds a million dollars and he still somehow manages to pick the shittiest cases. The lyrics are pretty good too. April 4, 2019 @ Good call…Blaze of Glory for sure but I can see why some say “Wanted” too. It’s no “Interstate Gospel”, but it’s infinitely better than “Boys ‘Round Here”.

Jon Stalnaker brandon April 4, 2019 @ “God’s Country” tries to evoke the awe-inspiring version of the Almighty, bequeathing us mere mortals patches of soil to toil upon from his perch high up in the clouds, peering down as the beads of sweat form across our brows, and calloused hands fold in prayer for rain.

It clearly has wide appeal and makes me interested to see what direction his new album is going to go in. Maybe you should be a little less critical of a good country song that can standup to Trap or pop-gum music. I want to point out it has been #1 on all-genre itunes for an entire week now (Ariana Grande had a new song that pushed it to #2 for a day). It was a bold move by Blake, and looks like it’s paying off. It might be one of the biggest songs in all of 2019. I wonder how that one is doing for him. April 5, 2019 @
