Blake Shelton Releases Cover Of Outlaw Legend Bobby Bare's "Tequila Sheila"
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) After announcing "Friends and Heroes 2019" earlier this week, country music superstar Blake Shelton continues to show old-school country some modern-day love with his cover of "Tequila Sheila" (listen HERE). Originally released in 1980 by Country Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry member Bobby Bare on his album Down and Dirty, the reimagined throwback tune features an introductory vocal by Bare himself. The song was written by songwriting legends Shel Silverstein and Mac Davis. The country legend is celebrating 60 years as a hit-maker this year and has big plans in store for 2019, to be announced soon.

"One of the coolest things I've been able to do in my career, because I've been fortunate, is be a little selfish along the way and be able to record some songs that I grew up loving," Shelton said. "I feel like they have helped shape who I am as an artist and were what inspired me to want to be a country singer. I recorded this song and didn't really have a plan for it - I just wanted to have my own version! I'm a huge fan, and I always felt like Bobby Bare's personality was the kind I wanted to have as an artist too."

"Blake Shelton is by far one of the biggest stars in country music right now and a great friend to traditional country. I'm glad to know him and thrilled he would include me on this record, it was a lot of fun," said Bobby Bare.

Born in Ohio, Country Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry member Bobby Bareis one of the most iconic country artists of our time with chart-topping songs like "Detroit City," "500 Miles," "Marie Laveau" and many more. From country legends like Little Jimmy Dickens and Hank Williams to big band acts like Phil Harris and the Dominoes, Bare's style was molded and led him to nearly five dozen Top 40 hits from 1962 to 1983. The original "Outlaw" of country music, Bare was honored with many awards and accolades, multiple GRAMMY nominations and wins and an induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2013. In 2017, Rolling Stone named him in the top 50 of the "100 Greatest Country Artists of All Time." 2018 marks his 60th anniversary in the music business and the release of his studio album, Things Change, and two new music videos. The Outlaw Country legend continues to play sold out select dates throughout the United States and internationally. April of 2018 marked his 83rd birthday and a pinnacle moment in history as he was welcomed back home as a member of the Grand Ole Opry by Garth Brooks.
