Product Description
From Amazon.com
As a survey of Toby Keith's first four recordings (not including the seasonal Christmas to Christmas), this set turns in some strong singles, making the case for the Okie singer-songwriter as one of the more traditionally minded of the '90s hat acts. Keith rarely devastates as a singer, but he never overreaches, and there's more than a bit of grit in his delivery of "Should've Been a Cowboy" and "He Ain't Worth Missing." His emotional triumph remains the obsessive "Who's That Man," in which Keith sees another man living the life he threw away. Keith also includes two songs not available elsewhere, complementing an appealing mainstream country set. --Roy Kasten

Enter the world of Toby Keith...
May 19 2004
Format:Audio CD
Before he became an arrogant grandstander (for better or worse) and a major award-winner and a sure-fire hitmaker, Toby Keith was a countryboy with a guitar and a song--and this collection captures the best of Toby Keith: The Early Days.
"Should've Been a Cowboy," more than ten years after its release, is still a radio staple (and one of the most influential songs of the nineties, not to mention the decade's most played). "A Little Less Talk" shows of attitude-driven times to come, but "If a Man Answers" and "Who's That Man" are outright tear-jerkers. The Sting duet "I'm So Happy" is a bit awkward (Sting's solo version is better), but the following track, "We Were in Love," is a reminiscent treasure.
All of the tunes on here are noteworthy. Because Toby Keith wrote/recorded them? Probably. Toby Keith is a talent; these days, he often gets ridiculed by people before they look at his music. One glance at this collection, though, should tell any doubter where Keith's soul lies: in the roots of country music.
Toby Keith's "Greatest Hits, Volume One" is a must-have for nineties country fans, or Toby Keith fans who've hopped on the bandwagon in recent years. It's a solid country music CD, no doubt about it.
Great collection
Mar 6 2004
Format:Audio CD
This is a really nice collection of Toby Keith's early music, while he was still with Mercury. In my opinion, the music on this album is a lot better than his current stuff with Dreamworks, when he became very popular. I just find it to be so pretentious and trying to prove something, but the music here is just honest and good. There are 12 hits and 2 new songs, "Getcha Some" and "If A Man Answers", the latter being the better of the two. It's too bad Toby Keith was the underdog with this music, because there is some really great songs here that never really got much acknowledgement from country radio, but it's their loss entirely. "Should've Been A Cowboy", "He Ain't Worth Missing", "A Little Less Talk And A Lot More Action", and "Wish I Didn't Know Now" all hail from his first self titled album. "You Ain't Much Fun", "Big Ol' Truck", "Who's That Man" come from his BOOMTOWN album. "Does That Blue Moon Ever Shine On You" and "Me Too" come from his 1996 album BLUE MOON. "Dream Walkin", "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying" and "We Were In Love" come from his DREAM WALKIN album. Overall a good overview of Toby's career before he started taking himself too seriously.
