Blake Shelton Releases Powerful Music Video For “God’s Country”

Blake Shelton released the music video for his anthemic new single, “God’s Country,” today (April 12).

Directed by Grammy award-winning director Sophie Muller, the compelling video was shot in Shelton’s home state of Oklahoma and features the wide spanning land of the midwest.

“Well I can tell you one thing for damn sure, Oklahoma is God’s country; so that’s where we shot the music video for the song,” said Shelton. “We spent four days shooting there in and around Tishomingo, getting connected to the land, the environment and the spirit of the music. As I’ve said before, I was born in Oklahoma and I’ll be buried there and Sophie Muller, who’s a well-known video director, really captured the countryside in a stark and vivid way.”

Written by Devin Dawson, Michael Hardy and Jordan M. Schmidt, Shelton debuted “God’s Country” during the ACM’s Sunday night (April 7).
