After nearly a quarter century at Warner Records, Blake Shelton and the label have amicably parted ways. At 17, Shelton left Oklahoma to pursue a career in Nashville. Eight years later, he was signed to Giant Records which closed it's doors after releasing Shelton's breakthrough single "Austin". That label then transferred him to Warner, his home for 23 years.  

Shelton’s first album with Warner’s Nashville division was “The Dreamer,” which came out in early 2003. His last full album for the label, “Body Language,” came out more than three years ago. No word on a possible new label for Shelton or what's next other than a residency booked at Caesars Palace next February.
