Blake Shelton‘s been hinting that his next single would be a duet, but until now fans didn’t know with whom he’d be sharing the mic. Now his record label, Warner Bros. Nashville, announced Blake is teaming up with his buddy, Trace Adkins, for the new song, “Hillbilly Bone.”

“When I first heard ‘Hillbilly Bone,’ I knew it was one of those songs that would kick the door down, and who better to kick the door down with me than my buddy Trace,” says Shelton. “It’s one of those songs you can’t get out of your head, and for Trace and I both, it was one of those songs that made sense since we are pretty much both ‘Hillbilly’ to the core.”

Blake gave his fan club members a gift this morning by making “Hillbilly Bone” available for them to preview for 24 hours via logging into their BSers Fan Club account. Starting tomorrow, fans can stream the song exclusively for two weeks at BlakeShelton.com. According to Warner Bros. you’ll have to wait until Nov. 2 to hear it on the radio and the music video single will be available on Nov. 3.

“Hillbilly Bone,” written by Luke Laird and Craig Wiseman, is a comedic, sing-along song about being so different, but yet really the same. It’s the first single from Blake’s upcoming CD.

If you go see Trace and Martina McBride in concert this fall and/or winter on their “Shine All Night” tour, chances are good that you’ll get to see Blake and Trace sing “Hillbilly Bone.” Blake will be joining Trace and Martina as a special guest on select dates.
