Product Description

From Amazon.com

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Who's That Man?, May 18 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: How Do You Like Me Now?! (Audio CD)

I started liking Toby when I would hear a song I liked, and would wonder, who's that man? They all turned out to be him.

I choose this CD because of How Do You Like Me Now?!, a song we can all relate to about rejection turning around, but I soon fell in love with You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This, When Love Fades and Blue Bedroom, where he shows his emotional, sentimental side. I Know A Wall When I See One is the kind of song you can't get out of your head, as is the good-natured Country Comes to Town.

Toby is a talented songwriter, has an excellent voice, and is full of emotion, humour and fun, and I can honestly say there is not one song on this CD I don't like. The perfect start or edition to any Toby collection.

This review is from: How Do You Like Me Now?! (Audio CD)

Just to clarify Amazon's statement that Toby is neither a great singer nor songwriter, let me say WRONG! Toby is one of the greatest songwriters ever. He tells the truth and lays it all out there on all of his works. A true patriot that should be given due respect for writing his music as well as singing it. He's not just a voice singing someone else's words like Whitney Houston and numerous other "artists."

This review is from: How Do You Like Me Now?! (Audio CD)

I really am not a huge country music fan, but I really like and admire Toby Keith (and, of course, Johnny Cash). I prefer the uptempo Toby, and I have to say that "Country Comes To Town," is a truthful, fun morsel of gold. The band is very tight, the vocals strong and the audio quality is excellent.

There is no doubt where the title came from. Obviously dealing with a broken heart (a longtime staple of country music) is something that most of us go through eventually. Toby is sly in "How Do You Like Me Now," making it clear who actually got the best end of the deal without being overtly nasty or arrogant, but with clarity and humor, nonetheless.
This one song alone makes the CD worth the money (though the rest is also quite good).

I am proud of and like Toby Keith for many reasons (not the least of which is standing up to a certain self-important TV news anchor, who will remain nameless), and this CD is certainly one of them. Thanks, Toby, for saying better than I ever could just how I feel in so many of your songs!

Toby has a fabulous voice. It's deep, powerful, clear, and very attractive. How Do You Like Me now is a fantastic revenge song, very strong and funny at the same time. Read more
