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 Terrific Tender True Toby, November 29, 1999

By

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

How much is this fella gettin payed to slam one of country musics greatest singers since Merle Haggard, which, may I remind you, was Toby's roll model? I have listened to this CD and find it truely Toby. The notes and ranges that can only come from his voice. He brings back true COUNTRY music not cross over, pop, or alternative...But COUNTRY music... You don't hear much of that. May I also mention his songwriting abilities. How many #1's has he had? And been awarded for his song writing abilities. I think you need to hire a new reviewer, feel free to email me...This is TK's strongest CD yet...his style nor voice never changes like some peoples...need I mention names? ...The title track is Pure Toby Keith, and the contents of the CD reflect his cowboy ways and tender side and even his fatherhood. Relisten and give us a better view on this terrifec CD.. Listen to You shouldn't kiss me like this.....The Wall....Love You kiss you hold you....Die with your boots on.... Give it a week of non stop ,listening and we'll be waiting for a new review!

So Toby In answer to your question How Do you Like Me Now? WE LOVE YOU! Please don't change!

5.0 out of 5 stars another review, January 28, 2000

By 

Kevin Meyer (USA) - See all my reviews

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

The way I decide if a cd is good or not is based on the songs. I can usually find at least one good song on any cd. And I can usually find at least one bad song on any cd. If I like half of the songs or more, it's a keeper. Out of the 12 songs on here, I really love 7 of them. But what's amazing is that this is one of those rare cds where I can't find ANY songs that I don't like. There isnt a track on here that makes me reach for the "next song" button. I can listen to them all. And more than half of the songs make me want to reach for the "repeat song" button.

I'd like to also mention that I usually prefer faster songs than slower ones, but this cd is the exception. I prefer the slower songs on this one because they are written and sung so well.

All in all, this is the type of cd that I would tell someone, "dont worry if you cant listen to it before you buy it, you'll like it."

On another note, I really like Toby's "Blue Moon" cd too, you might wanna check that one out. There are 4 or 5 songs on there that arent on greatest hits, but I like them alot.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm a convert, December 7, 2000

By 

Em Lewis (Cary, NC United States) - See all my reviews

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

After 25+ years of listening to R&B (yes, I'm a black woman) and hating rap (it all sounds alike to me), I switched my TV one day and saw a Toby Keith video. I could actually understand everything the man was trying to say and could empathize with the lyrics. It was then I questioned my loyalty to a kind of music that I'd heard all my life and was determined, 'I'm not going country', but that was 6mos ago and I am proud to say I am a huge fan of Toby Keith. (Toby, please come to Raleigh, NC - SOON).I'd pay to see you in concert. I am working my way thru your album history and I must say I am deeply impressed. I don't believe the Greatest Hits covers it. 'Yet' should have been on there as well as many others. I am giving your newest CD 5 stars, if I could give 10 I would. Forget the critics, keep on doing your thing YOUR WAY. If they could come up with music as heartfelt and as touching as yours - THEY'D DO IT. Looking forward to more music, more videos, just more..... a big fan
