Country music star and Voice coach Blake Shelton is getting a small taste of fatherhood while working with the up and coming artists on the hit NBC reality show. But after having to send home two contestants during this week’s show — and the sudden boom in his career — the newlywed says that he and wife Miranda Lambert are holding off on plans to start a family.

“We talked about it a couple of times — just enough to say, ‘You know what? We need to revisit this later,’” Blake reveals to Access Hollywood.

Just married last month before 550 of their closest family and friends, Shelton and Lambert are still getting used to being Mr. & Mrs., and working on their careers.

“My thing is taking up all my time right now,” explains Blake, 34, “and her career is taking up all of her time, and it just doesn’t seem like the right time right now.

“I’m sure at some point it’ll happen, but I don’t know when,” Shelton adds.

So, no baby yet, but in the meantime, we’re looking forward to lots more music (and The Voice) from Blake and Miranda.

In fact, Blake Shelton’s new album, Red River Blue, drops on July 12.

This week Cracker Barrel released a new three-CD series, “Grand Ole Opry Classic Collection,” as well as a contemporary “Our Kind Of Country” CD.

“The Classic Collection” includes live performances on the Opry stage from the mid-1950s to the 2000s from artists like George Jones, Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton. It is divided into three segments: Duets, Outlaw Performers and Classics.

“The classic collection is truly ‘classic’ in every sense of the word,” said Julie Craig, marketing manager for Cracker Barrel, in a news release. “It’s as close to an Opry experience as you can get without actually being in the Opry House. Listeners will enjoy high quality sound on every track, songs by historically renowned artists and enduring examples of some truly great performances. And ‘Our Kind Of Country’ is an incredible showcase of the Opry’s current superstars and more recent additions—a dozen of the Opry’s best available on one CD for the first time.”

“Our Kind Of Country” includes some of the biggest hits of the last ten years. Artists on the CD include Blake Shelton, Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Josh Turner, Martina McBride, Dierks Bentley, Diamond Rio, Terri Clark and Montgomery Gentry. Collectively, the artists have won every major award given by the Country Music Association. The project offers 12 studio recordings and is available in Cracker Barrel stores and Grand Ole Opry retail locations.
