Blake Shelton Says There Is One Item You Must Have for Country Music Clout

Back when Blake Shelton was a nobody, he says there was one purchase that he wanted to make to cement himself in country music. Shelton joked during his time on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday night, February 27th, “One of the first things I bought when I had a hit as a country artist — because you’re not crap in country music unless you have your own bulldozer.”

Shelton continued to say, “I mean, [if you don’t have a bulldozer], you really haven’t made it. You’re not over the hump, You know what I’m saying? So I bought a bulldozer. I don’t know how to run it, either. I bought this old bulldozer and just started trying to figure it out,”

Shelton added that, “Even starting it was an adventure, And then, like, how do you make it go? Just running crap over. It’s awesome … if I need something actually done with it, then I’ll pay somebody to run the dozer. But if it’s just, like, you know, having a bad day — or a good day — get on it and go push some stuff.”

In the meantime, Shelton is on the road for his Back to the Honky Tonk Tour, set to run through March.
