"Blake didn't have to ask us twice if we wanted to mentor his team this season on The Voice, " said The Band Perry. "It was so much fun to work with Team Blake, and after 15 years of receiving plenty of 'constructive criticism,' it was our turn to pay it forward. We just hope we were as helpful to Blake's team as our own mentors have been to us through the years."
