Another Mississippi native has advanced to the next round of NBC's The Voice after capturing the attention of one coach during Monday night's episode.

24-year-old Walker Wilson, who was raised in Raymond, turned the chair of country music singer Blake Shelton during his performance of “Hurricane” by Band of Heathens.

“You have a grit to what you do,” Shelton stated. “You're on the right track with that sound and this is going to be a lot of fun to do.”

Shelton compared the singer's voice to Waylon Jennings, adding that he would like to hear Wilson perform songs such as Shelton's own “Ol' Red” and “God's Country.”
