Carson Peters received four chair turns during his blind audition on NBC's The Voice. His smooth blues tone had the judges panel really impressed.

Peterson performed Tulsa Time by Don Williams for his audition and won a spot on Team Shelton. Kelly Clarkson turned her seat around just when the song was about to end but refused to be the last one to turn!

Carson chose Blake Shelton after the judge showed confidence in him. Shelton said:

"That's my man right there, Carson! What I would caution you with these three over here is, you can say man you're a bluegrass and country, I like that too. Or you can understand there's popular bluegrass music and there's what you hear on country radio. I'm thinking, if Ricky Skaggs is your man, you want to rewind time 30 years back. There's a lot of paths you can take, what we gotta figure out is which one best represents who you are. Let's not mess around with what this opportunity is for you. Let's do this right, Carson!"
