Toby Keith

BIOGRAPHy

Keith’s self-titled debut album was released in 1993 and made him a huge success. “Who’s That Man,” the lead single from his second album, Boomtown, was released in late 1994 and became his second number one hit. Keith’s label debut, How Do You Like Me Now?!, appeared in late 1999, with the title cut going to number one on the country charts. In 2001, his follow-up album, Pull My Chain, became his first to top the country charts and also his first Top Ten pop album. It spun off three number one singles: “I’m Just Talkin’ About Tonight,” “I Wanna Talk About Me,” and “My List.” When he recorded “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)” in the summer of 2002, Keith took center stage. A raging response to the 9/11 attacks, the song went to number one on the country charts and crossed over into the pop Top 25. All of this set the stage for Unleashed, which debuted at number one on both the country and pop charts. After this, Keith has released 2006’s White Trash with Money, 2007’s Big Dog Daddy, 2008’s That Don’t Make Me a Bad Guy, 2009’s American Ride 2010’s Bullets in the Gun and 2011’s Clancy’s Tavern. More recently, he released 35 MPH Town in 2015. Toby has written or co-written 26 #1 hits winning numerous awards for songwriting.  More important, Keith continues to tour and rock on.
