Historical and Musical Significance:

Released in 2001, Austin was Blake Shelton’s debut single, and it immediately established him as a rising star in country music. The song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, where it stayed for five consecutive weeks, making it one of the most successful debut singles in the genre’s history.

The B-side, Problems At Home, showcases Shelton’s early range, blending heartfelt lyricism with traditional country arrangements. Both tracks capture the sincerity and storytelling that would become hallmarks of his career.

For collectors, this 7" vinyl is more than just a music format—it’s a tangible piece of modern country music history from an artist who went on to become a multi-platinum recording star and a household name.
