Blake Shelton

Warner Music Nashville's Blake Shelton is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his hit debut single, “Austin,” by releasing the track on vinyl. The special, limited edition “Austin” vinyl will be available beginning Friday, April 16th, exactly 20 years from its original release date. As with the original, the vinyl version will also feature B-side track “Problems At Home.”
“I remember the first time I heard ‘Austin’ on the radio,” Shelton said. “I was driving on [interstate] 440, and I kept looking to both sides trying to see if other drivers were singing along! At that time, the [local] station had a slogan about how they played new artists and legends, and the DJ said something like, ‘Who knows ... maybe this artist will become one of the legends.’ This song started it all for me. I couldn’t be prouder to celebrate its 20th anniversary.”
