Blake Shelton fans, get ready – the superstar is gearing up to release an album on December 13.

Fully Loaded: God’s Country will feature 12 tracks, including seven hits from Shelton’s previous albums and five additional tracks, including the chart-topping smash “God’s Country.” Fully Loaded: God’s Country bring Shelton full-circle, following his previous releases Loaded: The Best of Blake Shelton (2010) and Reloaded: 20 #1 Hits (2015).

“Well, I knew the label would come up with some plan to release an album,” joked Shelton. “I’ve been vocal about how much I like this new way of releasing songs more frequently. It keeps me excited and gives me the opportunity to find the hot new song that I love and get it out to the fans quickly. I think they like it too. With five new songs on this album, you’ve got “God’s Country,’ ‘Hell Right’ and a few more that haven’t come out yet – maybe I wasn’t supposed to say that. But the fans will hear most of the music on Fully Loaded before it hits the streets in December.”

Shelton’s latest single, “Hell Right,” featuring Trace Adkins, is nearing the Top 20 at country radio. It’s the follow-up to “God’s Country,” which is currently nominated for Video, Single and Song of the Year at the upcoming CMA Awards.

Shelton is currently in the midst of filming for the current season of The Voice, which airs Mondays and Tuesday at 8/7c on NBC.
