Blake Shelton’s Second Six Pak Pops in August

So I just learned that at Blake Shelton is almost ready to show off his second Six Pak, on Aug. 10. (Ever since the CMT Music Awards last week, when Laura Bell Bundy referred to Blake Shelton as “At Blake Shelton” because they are both such avid Twitterers, I’ve decided that I, too, will refer to him in conversation as “at Blake Shelton.”) The upcoming six-song album follows up his first, Hillbilly Bone. And this one will have his newest single, “All About Tonight,” plus the songs whose titles alone sound like hits: “Who Are You When I’m Not Lookin'” and “Suffocating” (co-written by Miranda Lambert and Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott). Of this two-small-albums-instead-of-one-big-one concept, Shelton says, “It does make me feel more creative. It’s ongoing recording, which is a lot of fun for me. I feel like I’m making a mini Greatest Hits every time I put out one of these, ’cause I feel strongly about each and every one of those songs. It’s more of a dynamite in a small package kind of thing.”
