Blake: Then A Girl Walks In
Blake has been featured on Shenandoah’s new song Then A Girl Walks In.
Talk about a collab!
Country group Shenandoah is gearing up to release its star-studded collaboration album Every Road on Nov. 13 — and PEOPLE can exclusively premiere their track with Blake Shelton, "Then a Girl Walks In."
"Blake Shelton is truly a big piece of this new record," frontman Marty Raybon tells PEOPLE. "His vocals are as solid as a slab of concrete. This would not be a today's country music duets album without him being a part of it."
Drummer Mike McGuire echoed the sentiment, referring to how Shelton has picked Shenandoah songs for his mentees to sing on The Voice.
"We knew Blake must be a Shenandoah fan when he picked one of our songs for the past four seasons in a row on The Voice for his artists to sing, but we never dreamed we'd have the opportunity to actually do a duet with him personally," McGuire says. "What a blessing! Garth [Brooks] may have friends in 'low' places but we have friends in HIGH places. Thanks Blake."
The collaboration came together when Raybon approached Shelton at last year's CMA Awards. After slapping Shelton on the shoulder, Raybon told him about the project and said, "We want you on it." Shelton replied, "Send me the song and I'm in."
