Entertainment Weekly was at the ACM Rehearsals Thursday and interview our Blake Shelton! Read it below and you can go to the site and read more about the other artists that was interview. And don’t forgot that Blake will be on the Price Is Right this morning, check your local times for airtime.
12:14 p.m. Blake Shelton has joined Trace to rehearse their number, Blake’s recently-released “Hillbilly Bone.” I believe this song is a euphemism, though I do not know for what.
12:20 p.m. Above the stage, a diamond-shaped frame is hanging from the grid. In the center of the frame is a diamond-shaped video screen. Right now, as we wait for Trace and Blake to reset, the video screen is showing a sort of red pulsating lava pattern. I do not want to say it looks vaginal, because I am from Texas and we don’t say such things. But one might say that, if one were so inclined.
12:31 p.m. Blake and Trace are running through “Hillbilly Bone” again. They appear to genuinely enjoy each other in a very macho sort of way, but this song needs a kick-line of chorus girls or something. Chorus girls dressed up like guns. Speaking of: Laura Bell Bundy coming up later!
12:32 p.m. My favorite part of this rehearsal is Blake’s fiddle player, who is on stage sans fiddle. She is very enthusiastically miming along instead. She is also about one-third the size of Trace Adkins.
12:35 p.m. “All right, folks, we’re going to do a pyro test on the stage. This is going to happen twice during the number. Fire in the hole center stage in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…”
12:44 p.m. Third and final run-through. The pyro went off at the end, kind of looked/sounded like the stage sneezed. A production staffer comes up to talk to Trace and Blake after the number and while my hearing is not perfect I think the conversation started like this:
Staffer: “How are you guys?
Trace: “Well, I’ve got a rash down in my nether-regions…”
1 p.m. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Blake Shelton:
EW: Do I have a hillbilly bone, or is that just a guy thing? Blake: No no no! When you were asking me that question I was looking down, and those are some nice boots you’re wearing.
EW: Is that where my hillbilly bone is located? I feel like it’s something maybe I’m too prudish to understand. Blake: Your hillbilly bone is not located where my hillbilly bone is located. Know what I’m sayin? It’s not necessarily a gender thing. But everybody’s hillbilly bone is located in a different spot.
EW: Can you pinpoint that location when you meet people? Blake: Not exactly, but it’s a good excuse for staring at certain parts of a person’s body. And it’ll be like, “Hey, dude, what are you looking at?” and then I’ll say, “Oh, no! I was — I think that’s probably where your hillbilly bone is.” And then we strike up a conversation.
EW: You clearly have a deep affection for Trace. Blake: Who doesn’t?
EW: Man-crush levels, or just respect and admiration? Blake: You know, I don’t mind telling you I’m a straight guy, about as straight as you can get, I think. I used to think. Until I started spending a lot of time around Trace Adkins. And he definitely brings out a side in me I didn’t know I had. He’s just so… manly. In a way that makes me feel girly. That’s the only way I can explain it.
EW: How did you feel like the “six-pack” album concept [his six-track EP also conveniently named Hillbilly Bone] worked out for you? Did it accomplish what you were hoping? Blake: I think it worked. I’d like to release more than one single off the next one, and that’s a matter of figuring out how to make that thing work financially for the record company. We know for the most part fans were happy about it, and they could get the song that they wanted without having to buy a $12 or $14 album with seven other songs they might not ever listen to. So I think it’s definitely a good idea. I just think there’s a couple little tweaks we can do to make it even better.
EW: Are you going to bring anything to the performance that I didn’t see during rehearsal? Blake: Me and Trace are pretty much straight-ahead country singin’ kind of guys. The only thing that we didn’t do in the rehearsal is bring our personalities with us, which when we get in front of a crowd just happens naturally.
Blake Shelton took to the water earlier this week and broke a record. The singer and avid outdoorsman went fishing near Hudson Lake in northeastern Okla., on Monday with girlfriend Miranda Lambert and members of his band, and came home with quite an honor.
According to The Oklahoman, Blake reeled in a 40-pound paddlefish that became the new lake record for Hudson Lake. It was just days ago that the state Wildlife Department lowered the minimum weight requirements for paddlefish records from 60 to 40 pounds to increase the opportunities for more records. Unfortunately, Blake will not have the fish mounted — all of the spoonbills were released. However, Blake’s fishing expedition will most likely be shown on a future episode of Outdoor Oklahoma, a television show geared to Oklahomans, keeping them up-to-date on the fishing, hunting, outdoor recreation and policies and programs of the Wildlife Department.
Blake and Miranda take a few days off before heading to Las Vegas to perform on the ACM Awards on Sunday. Miranda is nominated for six awards, while Blake reels in a nod for Vocal Event of the Year with Trace Adkins for their recent No. 1 hit, ‘Hillbilly Bone.’
Miranda Lambert and boyfriend Blake Shelton teamed up to raise over $70,000 at a recent charity event in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. The show featured a VIP cocktail party and silent auction in addition to performances by both artists.
All of the money raised at the event will benefit local charities in the Tishomingo area, including a veterans’ association and an animal clinic.
Lambert is currently the midst off her first headlining tour after serving as a support act for artists like Brad Paisley.
“I’ve learned so much over the last five years touring with other amazing artists and I wanted to show I’m much more (than an opening act),” she told Washington’s Tri-City Herald. “I’d put up our band against anybody, because we’ll put on a show.”
Miranda Lambert’s Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars tour continues next week with a show at the Taft Theater in Cincinnati, Ohio, on April 8.
