As previously reported, Shelton is releasing "Bringing Back the Sunshine," his 11th studio album, Tuesday on Warner Bros. Records, and he opted to feature the Ada water tower on the record's black-and-white cover.
The Ada native and Tishomingo resident is featured on the cover of the Oct. 6 issue of Country Weekly magazine, on sale now.
The magazine notes that Shelton has undergone a serious career evolution from country newcomer to national superstar. In a special section titled “The New Blake,” Country Weekly examines how the glorious transformation took place from his first single to his stint on NBC's “The Voice,” which started its seventh season last week and continues at 7 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays.
As previously reported, Shelton’s hometown is planning Ada's Block Party for Black, a big free album release party at 5 p.m. Tuesday. The event is a collaboration of the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce, Chickasaw Nation, City of Ada and East Central University.
Although Shelton won't be in attendance, there will be plentiful entertainment, including mechanical bull rides, a Blake Shelton Look-A-Like contest, and a Best Mullet Contest. There will also be a free kid’s zone including bounce houses, face painting, and balloon animals. Several food vendors will be available and local establishments will remain open throughout the event. Ada PAWS (Pontotoc Animal Welfare Society) also will be hosting a pet adoption drive in connection with Shelton and wife Miranda Lambert’s love for animals.
Meanwhile, Shelton will perform Wednesday on the “Today” show and Thursday on “Live with Kelly and Michael.”
