Trace Adkins and Blake Shelton Offer ‘Hillbilly’ Duet

Blake Shelton's latest single, 'Hillbilly Bone,' teams him up with longtime friend Trace Adkins. Beginning today (Oct. 13), fans can stream the song exclusively for two weeks at Blake's website. Blake says when he first heard the song, written by Craig Wiseman and Luke Laird, he thought Trace would be the perfect duet partner.

"I knew it was one of those songs that would kick the door down, and who better to kick the door down with me than my buddy Trace," says the singer. "It's one of those songs you can't get out of your head, and for Trace and I both, it was one of those songs that made sense, since we are pretty much both 'Hillbilly' to the core."

'Hillbilly Bone' is the first single from Blake's forthcoming CD, which will be released next year. Fans who attend the upcoming Shine All Night tour featuring Martina McBride and Trace could be treated to a live performance of the tune, as Blake will be a special guest on select dates.

'Hillbilly Bone' hits radio stations Nov. 2, with a music video to be released the following day.
