Blake Shelton is releasing a new song and video called "No Body" on Friday (8/19), and he teased the 1990s-themed video on his Instagram.

Blake posted a video clip of a bar with a young cowboy leaning on the wall outside and a bearded motorcycle rider pulling up. The cowboy lets him into the bar where he starts to see memorabilia from the 1990s.

Shelton captioned the short clip, "I don't think y'all are ready for this... We're bout to take y'all waaaay back. #NoBody official video + single out Friday."

Fans reacted to the clip with one writing, "So excited for #NoBody." Another fan commented, "I'm so ready."

As we reported recently, Blake's new cover for his song "No Body" features him in the throwback mullet he wrote during his start in country music in the late 1990s.

It's pretty well known, at least in Nashville, that blue is the color Blake Shelton likes to wear the most. We journalists used to tease him about every one of his shirts being a shade of blue.

So as a bit of a challenge and we had to go back a few years in his career to find pictures of him not wearing blue, Here, we showcase the times when Shelton wore a different color, just because we can.
