The new album, entitled Southbound, will honor The Doobie Brothers, who won four-time Grammy-winning during their career. Not only will the band's music be featured on the album, the band itself will be playing alongside today's biggest country stars.
According to the Thursday News OK announcement, a number of artists will be joining Shelton on the record, including Vince Gill, Hunter Hayes, Tyler Farr and Casey James. The album is set to include 12 tracks reliving the glory of the 1970s band. The contributing performers were able to choose which songs they wanted to play, meaning there are bound to be some hidden gems mixed in with classic no. 1 singles.

Southbound is scheduled to be released on November 4.
Shelton has also been working on a lot of his own music lately. Last week he announced details on his new album, which comes out next month. The cover shows a black and white image of a water tower against a stark sky.
