Just another sellout!!!!!!!

Toby Keith's Greatest Hits Volume 1 was a very good cd. "Blue Moon" is still one of my favorite songs of all times. Since the release of that cd, Toby went to crap. Not only did he, along with other artists, benefit from the tragedy of 9/11 and the war, but he decided to tickle the little girls with an array of songs directed toward radio airplay instead of his early fans. I am still amazed by artists that claim that they were influenced by the likes of Merle, Hank Sr. and other greats, but their music goes the other way. Pop Country has no place in my cd collection and never will. To Toby and whomever views this...maybe you have it too good to write and perform the kind of country that true country artists do....maybe you need to smoke more weed with Willie. Where is my steel guitar?????

Toby Keith is my Favorite Artist!

Toby Keith ROCKS! He's all American. I love his new song "Honkey Tonk U", and I like all the songs on this new Greatest Hits CD. The only thing I don't like is the live versions of the songs; they sound too hokey. I like the originals, not the live versions. But that's just me.

You've GOT to get this CD. It's a Must-Have.

Toby Keith's Greatest Hits 2

Possibly one of the best c.d.'s, and currently one of my favorites, would clearly have to be Toby Keith's "Greatest Hits 2". Although there are quite a few reasons for my feelings, I think the most apparent reason for its superiority is the variety of song stylings on the disc. There's everything from slower, down-home country to rock-pop beats. I can go through every track and give a slew of reasons to buy the c.d. just for that one song, but the whole c.d. is really phenomenal.



There's a song entitled "Mockingbird" that Toby sings with his daughter and it's such an amazing duet. The way their voices harmonize is out of this world; it would be hard not to like the song even if country wasn't your favorite. Then there's a song, "Go With Her", that's just cute and well, if you're a girl, you'll truly appreciate it. Every time I hear it I think of my boyfriend because it talks about this girl who's threatening to leave her guy and how he should just pack up and go with her (not that I'm thinking about leaving my boyfriend...it's just rather amusing). The best line, in my opinion, is when Toby sings, "you don't stay with the one you can live with, it's the one you can't live without". How true this statement is!



Of course, there's my favorite song, "Stays in Mexico". Strangely similar to real life, this song has the catchiest beat and it's one of those songs that you'll put on repeat in the c.d. player...I know I have. Every song is so real, so easy to relate to. I truly think that everyone can relate to almost all of his songs because we've all been there. Oh, and there's my other all time favorite, "I Wanna Talk About Me". I can't stop raving about this c.d. simply because it's clean and doesn't have trashy lyrics. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of swearing and vulgar language in music and Toby really exemplifies everything I like and enjoy listening to. It would be hard not to find yourself singing along.



Even those of you who may not be particularly head-over-heels for country, I know you'll truly be impressed with this album. I never considered myself a hardcore country fanatic (and I still don't), but something about this c.d. struck me. It's definitely given me a whole new appreciation for this genre of music.
