With Drinks After Work, Toby Keith has brought the world a brand new record and as he explains in the awesome ZinePak Deluxe Edition of the album, he releases albums every year as a showpiece of the best songs he has written each year and while each year's batch of songs are different from the others, this year's batch found on Drinks After Work is definitely amongst his best...

Toby KeithHope On The Rocks
(Show Dog/Universal)
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
It's a fairly well-kept secret that Toby Keith's singing and songwriting abilities rival those of just about any act in contemporary country music. The perplexing thing is that Keith himself is the one most responsible for keeping the secret...

As one of the few artists to still deliver a new album year after year, Toby Keith has gotten 'flack' over the past few years for delivering what some have considered 'un-even' album releases. That perception was only enhanced by declining album sales with 2008's That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy being Toby's last Gold album (35 Biggest hits, also from 2008, is his last Platinum album)...

Setting aside its two singles for just a moment, Clancy's Tavern is a fairly rote reiteration of the same album that Toby Keith has been re-recording once a year since 2005's Honkytonk University. While there's something to be said for his work ethic and relative dependability, a good-sized chunk of Clancy's Tavern feels phoned in, and Keith is simply too big a personality and too dynamic a singer to get away with something lackadaisical...

Over the course of the past few years Toby Keith has completely taken the reins of his career into his own hands. While his stubbornness is sometimes 'justified,' it has also rubbed a lot of people the wrong way over the years. Still, wanting complete control of his career has proven to be lucrative for Toby and "That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy" is his fourth album to be released under his Show Dog Records Nashville label. And what an interesting album it is...

Before the past decade or so, artists released new albums every year. Now with some artists working on releasing new music every other year (sometimes every 3 years), Toby Keith feels like a throwback artist as he maintains a pace of releasing an album each and every year...

Say what you will about Toby Keith, but he's nothing if not a hard worker. It's been less than a year since That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy was released (hell, the gold record probably isn't even hung up in the Show Dog Nashville office) and here he is with another album, one that's already added another single to his long list of #1s...

From a sonic standpoint alone, Toby Keith seems to be on a roll as of late with his own releases on his Show Dog Records label. The songs mix a menagerie of sounds into a cohesive album after cohesive album and with this renewed sense of artistry, Toby Keith remains one of the top draws at country radio and on tour. Earlier in 2009 Toby Keith surprisingly released "American Ride" as a single instead of another track from That Don't Make Me A Bad Guy...

The name of Toby Keith's 2003 album was "Shock'n Y'all." The cowboy crooner, however, should have saved that awkward title for his newest release--because it's shockingly good. Keith is responsible for some of the most mediocre and empty-headed country anthems in recent history. Yet, it's hard not to be reminded of some all-time great musicians while listening to "White Trash With Money," which marks a true first for Keith...
