Blake Shelton is easily one of the most important names in country music. Aside from the impact his music has had on the genre, the country singer has certainly helped spread the country music gospel with his lengthy time on The Voice.
Here are the top 10 songs from the Oklahoma native that prove he is one of the most important modern artists to the world of country music.

We see a different side of Blake Shelton in his newest release, “Let Him In Anyway.” The song finds the country hitmaker grappling with his faith as he copes with the loss of someone close to him.
In the lyrics, Shelton asks God to show mercy to his friend in the afterlife. Believing that faith is the path to heaven, he admits that his friend wasn’t the Christian he was supposed to be. Haunted by the fear that he’ll never see his friend again, Shelton pleads with God to let him in anyway.
The song hasn’t had enough time to prove itself on the charts or through radio airplay, but its impact on Shelton’s fans is likely to be felt for years to come. It may very well be one of the most personal songs he’s ever released.

From an unlikely, cross-genre pairing to one of country music’s hottest “it” couples, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have been on quite the journey together since they first met back in 2014 on the set of The Voice. Here is a look back at their fairy tale love story in pictures.

The moment that started it all. Gwen Stefani was officially announced as a coach for Season 7 of The Voice. She’d later say that she had no idea who Blake Shelton was before she joined the show — but it was there where they first met.
