For a meat 'n' potatoes country singer like Toby Keith, he does a pretty good job of showing a sensitive side, though his ballad baritone goes slightly shaky when left out too long. Even so, with a basic mixture of beery braggadocio and tender sentiment Keith (who cowrites most of his material) seems to have hit his stride and has found a formula that commercial country has finally embraced. On this follow-up to his 1999 How Do You Like Me Now, production values remain slick, considering how much testosterone is involved, but there's still room for this Oklahoma boy to strut while a handful of heavy metal arpeggios punctuate the proceedings. --Henry Cabot Beck

Customer Reviews

Pull My Chain Toby Keith
I LOVE this cd! I am a relatively new Toby Keith fan, since 2004. I first got the Greatest Hits 2 cd, which I loved immediately. I have added the newer cds to my collection, and now have begun adding the previous cds. This is one of my favorites. I really like the upbeat songs, where Toby really rocks, as well as the slower love songs, ie, You Leave me Weak :). I highly recommend this cd to any Toby fan!

True Americans
Okay folks let's face it. "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue" and "Beer for My Horses" are the two best songs on here, I think.
Maybe it's because I'm from Texas and we Texans don't take kindly to foreign freaks attacking us, but I totally agree with every line written by Toby Keith in this powerfully patriotic song. Try to remember the aftermath of September 11th: the overwhelming surge of patriotism and the "we will NEVER forget" attitude. Aside from the present-day views of Iraq and the war on terror, Sept. 11th is almost a whole separate ordeal. This song was written in the aftermath of a very terrible event and to me, it reaffirms the pride that we Americans have in our country...and those who mess with us are gonna get "a boot up their ass."
I applaud Toby for putting it so plainly. He's saying what I believe we as Americans were thinking, that as the greatest country in the world, we will overcome (and we have)

Toby Keith's "Pull My Chain"
Toby Keith's "Pull My Chain"
By: Kiya Mercado

The C.D. I'm reviewing is Toby Keith's "pull My Chain." He's been in the singing business for 10 years now, and has had 6 previous C.D.'s. Like all Toby's music, this was a hit! My first impression of the Oklahoma boy's music was very positive. I just loved his C.D. because his song choices were good.

My favorite track numbers are: 1: "I'm just talkin' about tonight", 2: "I wanna talk about me", 3: "I can't take you anywhere", 4: "You leave me weak", 6: "Pull my chain", and 11: "My list". I enjoy these numbers because some of them are humorous, and I can relate some of the songs to my personal life. Unfortunately, there are a few dud songs. The tracks are: 5: "Trying to matter", 7: "The Sha La La song", 8: "Pick em' up and lay em' down", 9: "Forever hasn't got here yet", 10: "yesterday's pain", and 12: "You didn't have as much to loose." These tracks bore me because the lyrics and the music type. One reason why I like his C.D. is Toby Keith wrote or co-wrote all his own songs except 2!

This C.D. of Toby's is rock/country. I know many country fans were estatic when it came out, but the anti-country people were less enthusiastic about his C.D. coming out. Country people just love Toby Keith! Compared to Montgumery Gentry's country/rock C.D.'s, Toby's C.D. rallied.

Toby's C.D. ranges from $4.99-15.00. He's sold up to 1 million total, and they're still selling. The label is Dream Works. His fan club gave him 5 and one half stars out of 6, and I totally agree with them!
