Toby Keith has never been shy, but on Unleashed the Oklahoman proves he has more in common with Charlie Daniels and Hank Williams Jr. than you might have thought. The headline-making hit single “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American)” will either impress you as a piece of jingoistic hooey or rally your fighting blood with its images (”the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist”) of patriotic retaliation. The “eye for an eye” mood continues on “Beer for My Horses,” a frontier-justice saga on which Willie Nelson duets. But after that, things start falling into the usual formula: a killer pop ballad (”Rock You Baby”), some smart-ass sexual grandstanding (”Who’s Your Daddy”), and a few midtempo ruminations on life and love that catch the ear but ultimately prove forgettable. By the time he gets to “It Works for Me,” in which Keith celebrates the virtues of country living (”If it’s so good in the city / Why don’t anybody smile?”), you’ll swear it’s a Bocephus CD in your player. Oh, you rowdy boys! –Alanna Nash Author:  Toby Keith Audio CD:   Company:  Dreamworks Nashville  (2002-07-23) List Price:  $13.98 Amazon Price:  $4.96 Used Price:  $0.01

Though it might not be fair to say that Toby Keith has mellowed, he has definitely matured. Rather than taking political potshots, he exchanges bully-boy bluster for a tone of wry bemusement on “Big Blue Note” and “She Left Me,” tempering middle-aged pride with a confession that the years have taken their toll on “As Good as I Once Was.” After flexing his muscles with the album-opening title track, which sets Keith’s musical autobiography to the trademark lope of Waylon Jennings, he showcases the subtler side of his vocal artistry on “She Ain’t Hooked on Me No More”–a duet with Merle Haggard–and “Knock Yourself Out,” while turning almost tender on “Your Smile” and “Where You Gonna Go.” For those who miss the old Toby, there’s “Just the Guy to Do It,” which proceeds from one of the cheesiest pickup lines ever (”Do blondes really have more fun/Or are they just easier to spot in the dark?”) into promises to punch out an errant boyfriend. Yet even this song has more of a Caribbean lilt than the macho swagger of Keith’s younger days. –Don McLeese Recommended Toby Keith Discography How Do You Like Me Now?!

At his best, as exemplified by his 1999 megahit “How Do You Like Me Now?!” Keith is simple and direct in the tradition of Hank Williams Jr.–aware of his limitations, able to thrive within them. “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)” struck a chord, though it differed little from the fist-shaking morale-boosters of previous wars. On the downside, Keith’s formulaic tendencies can become tiresome, as it did on “My List,” a generic celebration of life’s mundane treasures. Sales notwithstanding, “Beer for My Horses” was no artistic landmark for Keith or duet partner Willie Nelson. By contrast, he and daughter Krystal have fun with the 1963 Inez and Charlie Foxx R&B hit “Mockingbird” (first revived by James Taylor and Carly Simon). “Go With Her” injects a different spin into the time-honored breakup song, wittiness absent on the gimmicky “Stays in Mexico.” Raucous live performances of “You Ain’t Much Fun” and his debut hit, “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” reflect his ability to rouse the faithful into the obligatory singalong. –Rich Kienzle Atists:   Toby Keith Audio CD:   Enhanced Company:  Dreamworks Nashville  (2004-11-09) List Price:  $13.98 Amazon Price:  $4.42 Used Price:  $1.08

As a survey of Toby Keith’s first four recordings (not including the seasonal Christmas to Christmas ), this set turns in some strong singles, making the case for the Okie singer-songwriter as one of the more traditionally minded of the ’90s hat acts. Keith rarely devastates as a singer, but he never overreaches, and there’s more than a bit of grit in his delivery of “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” and “He Ain’t Worth Missing.” His emotional triumph remains the obsessive “Who’s That Man,” in which Keith sees another man living the life he threw away. Keith also includes two songs not available elsewhere, complementing an appealing mainstream country set. –Roy Kasten Atists:   Toby Keith Audio CD:   Company:  Mercury Nashville  (1998-10-20) List Price:  $13.98 Amazon Price:  $3.77 Used Price:  $0.01

For a meat ‘n’ potatoes country singer like Toby Keith, he does a pretty good job of showing a sensitive side, though his ballad baritone goes slightly shaky when left out too long. Even so, with a basic mixture of beery braggadocio and tender sentiment Keith (who cowrites most of his material) seems to have hit his stride and has found a formula that commercial country has finally embraced. On this follow-up to his 1999 How Do You Like Me Now , production values remain slick, considering how much testosterone is involved, but there’s still room for this Oklahoma boy to strut while a handful of heavy metal arpeggios punctuate the proceedings. –Henry Cabot Beck Atists:   Toby Keith Audio CD:   Enhanced Company:  Dreamworks Nashville  (2001-08-28) List Price:  $13.98 Amazon Price:  $3.93 Used Price:  $0.50

Since Toby Keith’s commercial success and canny image manipulation show how shrewd he is, perhaps the best explanation for songs as lackluster as “Note to Self” (a generic Rolling Stones arrangement with a hokey lyric) and “Runnin’ Block” (about bedding an unattractive woman for the benefit of a buddy) are either laziness or pandering. On White Trash with Money , his first release on his own Show Dog imprint (and without longtime producer James Stroud), Keith occasionally appears to be stretching himself–on the string-laden balladry of “A Little Too Late,” the tender “Crash Here Tonight,” and perhaps his finest vocal performance to date on “Too Far This Time”–but often seems to be coasting. “Get Drunk and Be Somebody,” “Grain of Salt,” and “Brand-New Bow” are never less (and little more) than dumb fun, while “Can’t Buy You Money” is a clever twist on the “money can’t buy you love” adage. The most contentious track here, “Ain’t No Right Way,” is just waving a red flag at those who refuse to reduce complex issues to simple black-and-white. Keith insists that he only writes as many songs as he needs to record; this time, some quality control might have required writing a few more. –Don McLeese Atists:   Toby Keith Audio CD:   Company:  Show Dog Nashville  (2006-04-11) List Price:  $18.98 Amazon Price:  $4.78 Used Price:  $2.59
