Blake Shelton will be the first to tell you that being a coach on “The Voice” changed his life in more ways than one.

The Oklahoma native also chats about the early days of hunting for record deals as a teenager in Nashville, and what it’s like returning to Music City to open up his new bar and music venue “Ole Red.”
