Watch Blake Shelton's career begin and flourish from the viewpoint of a lifelong friend who moved the award-winning musician to Nashville when he was seventeen and has been with him every step of the way. In Blake Shelton: Happy Anywhere, Carol Cash Large takes you backstage for personal and unique insight into the life of the young singer. Large starts at the beginning, when Shelton worked with producer Bobby Braddock, recorded his #1 song "Austin," and performed on the Grand Ole Opry. She shares his victories and the rise in fame when he started garnering nominations at award shows and then recorded seventeen consecutive #1 songs.

Large's favorite stories come from Shelton's time as host and entertainment on Saturday Night Live and his induction into the Grand Ole Opry. But, she says, landing a gig as a coach of the NBC hit, The Voice, had the biggest impact on his career.

Along with his music career success and fame, Large delves into his personal life, showing his penchant for entertaining and bringing smiles to his friends and family. She also recounts stories about Shelton's marriages to Kaynette Williams and Miranda Lambert, and the joy he has found with Gwen Stefani.

With fifty personal photos from the author's collection and a close connection to Blake Shelton, Carol Cash Large presents a warm, detailed account of one of country music's biggest stars of all time.

Industry Reviews

"Blake Shelton is not only one of my favorite people to interview, he's one of my favorite people period. I've interviewed him a lot through the years and I thought I knew a pretty good bit about my friend--research makes for a great interview after all--but after reading Happy Anywhere, boy was I wrong! Carol Large's book is so enjoyable and eye-opening! Carol and her husband Larry have been close friends of Blake's for a long time--they helped move him to Nashville right after high school!

From learning about Blake's hometown of Ada, Oklahoma, to seeing priceless photos, this book is full of Carol's personal stories and memories that any Blake Shelton fan and friend will enjoy reading."

--Nan Kelley, Television Host-GAC Top 20 Country Countdown, Authentic America, Opry Live, JTV

"I think it is so cool that Carol kept a journal on all the events that happened in Blake Shelton's life. It's one thing to get Blake's point of view but to hear another person's perspective, who was there with him every step of the way, is priceless. I wish I had somebody writing all of those memories down for my career! I learned a lot about Blake and his early days in country music--I know you will too."--Reba McEntire
