“When I open my mouth, what comes out is country. It was going to sound country no matter what, but I didn’t want it to be too different,” explains singer Blake Shelton of his fresh-scrubbed country version of Kenny Loggin’s “Footloose,” recorded for Craig Brewer’s upcoming remake . “It’s music that was rock back then but is country now,” he adds, though Deniece Williams, Sammy Hagar, and Shalamar might disagree. Whatever. Give Shelton’s version a listen and see if it’s worth kicking off your Sunday shoes for. [ The Boot via Vulture ]
