What many have said in earlier reviews are true - 'Startin' Fires' is a strong effort. I found that I liked more tracks on this release than on the previous releases where there were one or two good songs, a few okay tracks and then an assortment of forgettable ones. 'Startin' Fires' isn't flawless - there are still a few iffy tracks but they aren't entirely bad. 'Startin' Fires' is a real guitar picking, sway-inducing, violin and fiddle country delight. Where many country artists seem to produce 'country' songs that are rather pop and mainstream orientated, I found that Shelton stayed true to his earlier releases and career by producing what I consider real country music. The songs have stories and plots, his voice (un-tampered with and the real deal) is on display, and there's something for everyone on here.
The songs that worked the best for me were those that embraced the whole country lifestyle. These songs weren't gimmicky or comedic but had real heart and soul to them. I loved 'Green', a track that any person who enjoys rural living and living in the country would appreciate. 'Good At Startin' Fires' was another upbeat, quick paced song that had a catchy chorus and flirtacious lyrics that Shelton is good at writing and delivering. The slower tracks that worked for me were the country ballad 'I Don't Care' that reminded me a lot of 'Austin' from his self-titled release 'Blake Shelton' with a twist/confession at the end of the song and 'Here I Am'.
In all, a great release. This is what I think real country music should sound like but, these days, rarely comes close to. Shelton's voice and vocals on this release are even better than ever, the songs are (for the most part) good and catchy. There are only a few tracks that I'd probably skip after the first listening but those don't weight down the whole effort. I like the consistent sound and theme running throughout the release, and simply would encourage everyone to give 'Startin' Fires' a listen. Definitely worth checking out and buying.
Listen To These: 'Green', 'Country Strong', 'Good At Startin' Fires', 'This Is Gonna Take All Night'
Free Music Review: Would have been better if all of the songs were new
Hit: 4 Stars
I really liked this CD, almost as much as Pure BS and Barn and Grill. He is definitely one of the most underrated male country singers. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was that he included a song already appearing on another CD of his (I Don't Care, which was on Pure BS). Are we going to see it once again when he comes out with the inevitable greatest hits CD? In my opinion each CD (except for a greatest hits)should have songs new to that CD. His songs are all so good, its a shame he couldn't have completed this CD with another new one.Free Music Review: Blake is Awesome

This is the first CD I've bought of Blake Sheltons and it won't be my last. I saw his video of She Wouldn't Be Gone on a country music station and I loved it. I immediately bought this CD. Every song is great and his voice is awesome.
