Love and Blood is the eighth studio album from Australian country singer Shane Nicholson, released on Lost Highway Australia, Universal in July 2017.

"[1] Nicholson also said this album feels like a sequel to Hell Breaks Loose, released in 2015 and written amongst the wreckage of his eight-year marriage to Kasey Chambers.

[5] In a positive review, Musicologist Bernard Zuel said "It's partly in the music which straddles rock, country and a kind of soul that is stripped of groove but not feeling...

It's partly in the sound which is smooth enough to fit in with classic radio tones of the FM years... [but] most of all it's in an intensity of emotion and sombreness of storytelling here that at least asks to be taken seriously as something more than a batch of songs to make you feel happy/sad/moved to beers.

"[6] Denise Hylands from Stack Magazine said "The always sincerely personal Nicholson shares his current matters of the heart with an uplifting determination of love and hope.
