“Blake Shelton heard the demo for “God’s Country” while working on his Oklahoma ranch and immediately decided he’d record it. “I had to stop and just listen to this song, because the song was talking to me about a place that I was in at that moment, which was a place in the middle of nowhere that meant something to me that probably nobody else could ever understand,” he said.
Just one week earlier, HARDY brought the idea for “God’s Country” to a songwriting session. Devin Dawson added a sizzling guitar lick and Jordan Schmidt expanded on that electrifying feel.
Shelton shot the video on his ranch with director Sophie Muller, who interpreted the lyrics through the lens of God’s wrath, adding an unexpectedly stark visual. “God’s Country” spent two weeks at number one at country radio in 2019 and collected ACM and CMA awards for Single of the Year”. – Craig Shelburne
