Blake Shelton is also a nominee at the upcoming ACM Awards. “Hillbilly Bone,” Shelton’s hit song featuring special guest Trace Adkins, is nominated in the Vocal Event of the Year category. Produced by Scott Hendricks and released via Reprise Records/Warner Music Nashville, “Hillbilly Bone” will compete for the Vocal Event of the Year honor against “Honky Tonk Stomp” (Brooks & Dunn featuring Billy Gibbons), “I Told You So” (Carrie Underwood featuring Randy Travis), “I’m Alive” (Kenny Chesney with Dave Matthews) and “Seeing Stars” (Jack Ingram featuring Patty Griffin).

Hillbilly Bone is also the name of Blake Shelton’s most recent album, which arrived on March 2. Although Hillbilly Bone only has six tracks, Shelton is prepping another six-song album to arrive later this summer, reported CMT.com. Following the release of his new album, Shelton headlined his first concert at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on March 18. At the gig, Shelton’s duet partner and friend Trace Adkins turned up to lend his vocals to “Hillbilly Bone.” The track is currently sitting pretty at the top spot on Billboard’s Country Songs chart.

On March 23 AOL Radio revealed the title of the first single from the second installment of Shelton’s next six-song collection. Titled “All About Tonight,” the track is the follow-up to “Hillbilly Bone,” the only single from the first installment of the EP Six Pack series. The second installment is rumored to be due sometime in late August 2010. “All About Tonight” features Shelton singing: “I’ve got some wild ass buddies that love spending money / And I see you brought a couple of friends / Just tell me your name, I don’t need your number or a date next Saturday.” Wonder what his country-singing girlfriend Miranda Lambert, who is up for six ACM Awards, thinks of those flirty lyrics!

Blake Shelton is currently on tour and will stop in U.S. cities like Grand Prairie, Texas; Austin, Texas; Greensboro, N.C.; Duluth, Ga.; Columbia, S.C.; Biloxi, Miss.; Meridian, Miss.; Nashville, Tenn.; Cadott, Wis.; Oshkosh, Wis.; Fredericksburg, Wash. and Detroit Lakes, Minn. through August.
