* MagnificentBastard: From "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0ErQjdfj0A Ol' Red]]": The unnamed narrator is sentenced to 99 years of hard labour for murdering his wife and her lover. As soon as he arrives at a prison farm, he spends the next two years being a model prisoner so that the warden assigns him to take care of his escapee-hunting dog Ol' Red. Soon after, he contacts his cousin and has him bring his dog down for Red to mate with during his evening runs. After a while of doing this, the narrator breaks out at the time he does his runs, fleeing in the opposite direction from Red's run so he's distracted by routine.

* HilariousInHindsight: His first album contains a song titled "Same Old Song", which criticizes contemporary country music as too bland... a criticism hurled at Blake's own material in TheNewTens.

* SeasonalRot: Many fans feel that his quality took a nosedive from ''Hillbilly Bone'' onward, when Scott Hendricks took over as his producer. Main points of criticism include an over-reliance on the "country boy"-type songs that are already overdone in Nashville.

* CriticalDissonance: His first three albums had traditional-leaning country that won him critical acclaim but produced hit-and-miss results on the charts; Pure BS and Startin’ Fires were an awkwardly mediocre transitory period; and Hillbilly Bone onward has found him taking on a more ‘modern’ sound that has rendered him a golden boy on the airplay charts (including a white-hot streak of eleven straight number-one hits), but at the cost of critical derision for his more generic style.
