MORE IS MORE!
Okay, here's how the marketing mentality works. Take an already released album, add new tracks and the fans, even the ones who bought the original, will rush out and buy it. Right? Absolutely. Sure, there will be those who will be mad as hell. Why are we being treated this way? We're being cheated!
I suppose there may be a slight argument for that sort of thinking, but not, in my opinion, where Blake Shelton's MORE PURE BS is concerned. His hit, "Home," is, all by itself, well worth the extra money and even the addition of what seems a duplicate album to my collection. "Home" is quite easily the finest song that Shelton has recorded and the other two new tracks, "Chances" and "I Can't Walk Away," are wonderful additions to the excellent tracks on the original PURE BS album.
Besides, if you're really bent about the prospect of having to buy the new album, simply download the new tracks from Amazon (for a nominal fee), add them to the original album and have a great listening experience.
With PURE BS and the new MORE PURE BS, Shelton truly emerges as a bona fide Country star and I'll expect a lot more great stuff from him in the future.
