Country singer Blake Shelton is shown April 18, 2007 in Nashville, Tenn. If Shelton comes across as a little gloomy on his new album "Pure BS," he has good reason. He was going through a divorce when he was making it, and he says he had a lot on his mind. Eight of the 11 songs deal with relationships gone wrong, from the guy trying desperately to hold onto his girl in "Don't Make Me" to the one who runs into his ex- and her new beau in "I Don't Care."
