2019

Blundell has won ten Golden guitar awards at the Tamworth Country Music Awards of Australia. Blundell was a Hall of Fame Inductee in 2019.

Blundell has been married twice—firstly to Louise, a former manager, and secondly to Lidia, with whom he had two sons. He left his second wife in August 2007 for Jesse Curran, a singer who he had met at one of his concerts and whilst she was a contestant on Australian Idol. He and Curran have since had two children together, Fian Blundell (8) and Ria Blundell (6). In May 2010, Blundell filed for bankruptcy, having gone into debt attempting to finance his albums, as well as having lost money on the sale of an investment property the previous year.

Blundell had previously been approached to stand in elections by the Liberal National Party (LNP), but declined. His selection was controversial within the party, in part because he had not been a party member before his candidacy was announced, and contributed to a former vice-president, Kevin Brown, resigning his membership.
