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

Oklahoma singer Toby Keith is neither a remarkable singer nor songwriter. Yet in his more inspired and focused moments on his sixth studio album–his first for DreamWorks–Keith does occasionally manage to transcend his journeyman’s limitations and achieve a sort of workaday eloquence. On patchily conceived and executed songs like the self-written “Die with Your Boots On” and a pointless ditty called “Country Comes to Town,” even Keith’s hard-edged baritone swaggering over flashy, high-voltage arrangements can disguise the basic lack of musical substance and creative vision. Yet on “Heart to Heart,” a tender song Keith wrote for his young son, and an exquisite story song called “New Orleans,” Keith surprises by turning in heartfelt, impassioned performances that transcend the general ordinariness that is otherwise the order of the day. –Bob Allen Atists:   Toby Keith Audio CD:   Company:  Dreamworks Nashville  (1999-11-02) List Price:  $13.98 Amazon Price:  $4.31 Used Price:  $0.86

A former oil field worker, Toby Keith has always known how to capture the passions of blue-collar men and women, desperate to blow off steam at the end of the day. As such, he’s stocked his latest album with themes designed to push all the right emotional buttons–patriotism, Jesus, buddy love, fast women, and reality altering substances. “I Love This Bar,” the first single, offers a kinder, gentler Keith than the boot-shoving redneck of “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American).” But as he segues to “American Soldier,” a song so gung-ho and puffed up that it could be a musical recruitment poster, you know he’s gearing up for a scud missile of a payoff. Sure enough. By the time he gets to “The Taliban Song,” a comedic and cartoonish skewering of The Enemy, recorded in concert, it’s hard to remember that he once wrote well-crafted ballads of romantic infatuation. Now it’s all grandstanding, baby, even the best-written song, a jazzy, talking blues which fillets his critics. If he’s not exactly “Shock’n Y’All” as the title suggests, he’s certainly putting his “Baddest Boots” forward. –Alanna Nash Atists:   Toby Keith Audio CD:   Enhanced Company:  Dreamworks  (2003-11-04) List Price:  $13.98 Amazon Price:  $9.78 Used Price:  $0.75

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
