With 31 No. 1 singles, 52 million singles and 13 million albums sold and over 11 billion global streams, Blake Shelton has received numerous awards, including six ACMs, three AMAs, eleven CMAs, eleven CMTs and six People’s Choice, among many others. His debut BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville album, For Recreational Use Only, is a 12-track album, his first in nearly four years, and features his No. 1 Wheelhouse Records singles “Texas” and “Stay Country or Die Tryin,’” his current single the poignant “Let Him In Anyway” and includes appearances by Gwen Stefani, John Anderson and Craig Morgan.
The song “Let Him In Anyway” offers another powerful insight to the album. The emotionally gripping ballad tells the story of a man seeking divine forgiveness for a lost friend who was just shy of redemption.
“‘Let Him In Anyway’ is one of the most powerful songs I’ve ever had the chance to record,” said Shelton. “HARDY is a co-writer and a friend, and I’ve never heard a song like this before. When I first listened to it, I knew it was something special. It’s an honor to bring it to life, and I’m incredibly proud of the record we made.”
Shelton is kickstarting the year by returning to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for his 2026 Live In Las Vegas Residency. The Grand Ole Opry member also remains focused on his Ole Red partnership with Ryman Hospitality, with locations currently in Tishomingo, Nashville, Gatlinburg, Orlando, and most recently, Las Vegas, with a stand-alone venue complete with a roof-top stage and bar on the Las Vegas strip.
Shelton also just completed the debut season of The Road, a gritty new CBS series he co-produced alongside Taylor Sheridan, David Glasser, Lee Metzger and headliner Keith Urban. The show followed aspiring artists on a relentless national tour, offering a raw, behind-the-scenes look at the highs, lows and hard truths of chasing a dream from the road.
