Description: 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.

Reviews:
Pull My Chain - Toby Keith
His CD is one of the funnest CD's I have ever purchased. Almost every lryic seems to have two meanings. It is clever, quick and great to listen to.
Not to mention, that country voice that Toby Keith has makes every song somethin' we can listen to for ours. Spice your chili.
A++++
Toby Keith's "Pull My Chain"
Toby Keith's "Pull My Chain"
By: Kiya Mercado
The C.D. I'm reviewing is Toby Keith's "pull My Chain." He's been in the singing business for 10 years now, and has had 6 previous C.D.'s. Like all Toby's music, this was a hit! My first impression of the Oklahoma boy's music was very positive. I just loved his C.D. because his song choices were good.
My favorite track numbers are: 1: "I'm just talkin' about tonight", 2: "I wanna talk about me", 3: "I can't take you anywhere", 4: "You leave me weak", 6: "Pull my chain", and 11: "My list". I enjoy these numbers because some of them are humorous, and I can relate some of the songs to my personal life. Unfortunately, there are a few dud songs. The tracks are: 5: "Trying to matter", 7: "The Sha La La song", 8: "Pick em' up and lay em' down", 9: "Forever hasn't got here yet", 10: "yesterday's pain", and 12: "You didn't have as much to loose." These tracks bore me because the lyrics and the music type. One reason why I like his C.D. is Toby Keith wrote or co-wrote all his own songs except 2!
This C.D. of Toby's is rock/country. I know many country fans were estatic when it came out, but the anti-country people were less enthusiastic about his C.D. coming out. Country people just love Toby Keith! Compared to Montgumery Gentry's country/rock C.D.'s, Toby's C.D. rallied.
Toby's C.D. ranges from $4.99-15.00. He's sold up to 1 million total, and they're still selling. The label is Dream Works. His fan club gave him 5 and one half stars out of 6, and I totally agree with them!
Toby strikes gold again!
Toby Keith, one of country music's leading men, scores another hit album. This collection of 13 thrilling songs continally keeps Toby at the top of his game. From soultry country love songs to up-tempo dance numbers, he strikes the perfect chord. "I'm Just Talkin' About Tonight" starts the c.d. off, projecting Toby's humorous perspective on love. The title track lets you in on the give-and-take qualities of engagement and marriage. To mix the album up a bit, Toby adds several heart-clenching ballads, such as "You Didn't Have As Much To Lose" and "Yesterday's Rain". A bonus track is added, paying homage to the rodeo world. His baritone vocals, sweet guitar srumming, and throw-caution-to-the-wind attitude make this singer a legend. This album is certainly a must-have for all the Toby Keith fans out there.
