Growing up in Texas, Post listened to everyone from Dwight Yoakam to Johnny Cash to one of the featured artists on his upcoming album, F 1-Trillion, Blake Shelton. In a recent interview with American Songwriter, Shelton opened up about his relationship with the “I Had Some Help” singer, noting his deep roots within the genre and sharing a funny story about Post’s connection with his 2001 hit, “Austin.” For those who don’t know, Post’s real name…

Despite the success over the past few years, it’s…
