Gwen Stefani: Blake Shelton Judds Tribute Cover Marks A First
Gwen Stefani is expanding her country music reach with another duet with husband Blake Shelton, but this time, it’s on the new tribute album to The Judds, called A Tribute to the Judds, which will be available on October 27. The song is the Judds’s classic “Love Is Alive,” and Blake does something he’s never done before working with his wife.
Gwen said in a video clip she posted on her Instagram about the new collaboration, “Hi, it’s me. I’m at Henson Studios. I’m here with Scott Hendricks; he is a legend. I’ve worked with him before. I’ve been lucky enough to do some stuff with Blake, and Blake and I are doing it together.”
She continued, “It’s pretty exciting. It’s the first time Blake’s ever gonna sing harmony on a lead that I am doing. It’s just been beyond a dream come true to be able to do it. Whenever you do a cover, you always feel like there’s no way to compete with the original. I mean, there is absolutely no way. It’s such an honor.”
Gwen captioned the post on Instagram, “‘Love is Alive’ with @blakeshelton is available everywhere. Recording this song by @thejuddsofficial was such an honor and an incredible opportunity- we hope u enjoy 🙂 gx”
