Toby Keith - Toby Keith, Greatest Hits 2 [2004] Mp3Ok, some people are gonna look at this CD and see: TOBY KEITH. Their first thought: arrogant, grandstanding, flag-waving redneck. Others will look at it and think, A brilliant singer/songwriter who isn't afraid to speak his mind.
Doesn't matter which side of the fence you lean on. True, this album features Toby's attitude more than anything else (he's written better tunes than these–"Stays in Mexico" has to be the worst song he's ever wrote, even if it is infectious). Two ballads ("When Loves Fades" and "Rock You Baby") are not included on here. The two ballads that are ("You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This," actually a very well-written song, and "My List," which Keith didn't write) are indeed among his better material. The rest of the stuff…"The Angry American" was appropriate for its time (who didn't want to put a boot in a certain part of Osama bin Laden's anatomy?), but hasn't aged too well. "How Do You Like Me Now?!" is now belittled by the attitude of the rest of the material. And there's nothing from SHOCK 'N YA'LL…interesting.
But Toby reinvents himself (sort of) with the new material. Maybe "redeems" is a better word. "Stays In Mexico" is a throw away; we'll ignore it. Instead, let's look at "Go With Her," a breesy, tongue-in-cheek number inspired by his father. But the highlight of the album is his remake of "Mockingbird" for two reasons. One, Toby has never sounded better, growling out the lyrics to this classic in a voice that would leave even the greatest honky-tonkers in awe. And then there's his daughter, Krystal, who sings with him–a girl who seems to have been born for one purpose: singing. A powerful duet. And there's also two live tracks: "You Ain't Much Fun," a fun but absent-minded song, and "Should've Been a Cowboy," which has become a country radio staple (and a minor classic).
Toby Keith's GREATEST HITS 2 may not feature his best material, but it showcases perfectly where he's at. Though he may not be at his peak (though he could easily get there again), he is still writing and recording with the best of them. His attitude has won him legions of new fans; with these new fans in tow, it seems Keith is ready to re-establish himself as a serious singer/songwriter once more.
