This is sad news for fans hoping to meet Toby at this year's Cheyenne Frontier Day's Concert Series.
Toby Keith's new album 'Hope on the Rocks' is a loud and sudsy collection of songs about beer, barrooms, heartbreak... and beer. Much like a Saturday night out at your favorite watering hole, it's rowdy and fun, but difficult to remember the next morning.
Toby Keith will release a new album titled ‘Hope on the Rocks’ on Nov. 13 via his own Show Dog/Universal imprint. Its first single, ‘I Like Girls That Drink Beer,‘ is already one of the most-added songs at country radio, setting up his eager fans for the record’s release.
It’s easy to count on a hit when Toby Keith and Bobby Pinson write together, a fact which holds true with the ‘I Like Girls That Drink Beer’ lyrics. The song is the singer’s first single from his forthcoming new album.
The ‘American Idol’ rumor mill is turning again, and this time, Toby Keith is the person of interest. Word has it that in an upcoming cover story for Inland Empire Weekly, the ‘Beers Ago’ singer dishes that he was asked to sit in the judges’ panel for the upcoming ‘Idol’ season, but he turned them down.
Days after the news that his “raise your glass” (well, cup) anthem ‘Red Solo Cup’ had gone double platinum, moving two million digital downloads and becoming the biggest-selling song of his career, Toby Keith tweeted that his new single ‘I Like Girls That Drink Beer’ will drop on July 24. He’s keeping that beverage-consuming motif going, ain’t he?
Some of Toby Keith‘s ‘bad A’ patriotic songs can make him sound like a tough guy, but the truth is that the country star is always willing to donate time and money to help sick children and other people in need. For his latest act of generosity, the 9th Annual Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic helped raise $664,000 for OK Kids Korral, a facility that will provide comfortable housing for families of children with cancer.
The road of the outlaw is paved with sharp stones, but for fans of country music’s bad boys (and bad girls) it’s a satisfying path to follow. The original outlaws — men named Waylon, Willie, Merle and Hank Jr. — are mostly past their prime, but they’ve left a lasting influence on a new generation of country artists who are willing to upset the establishment to gain creative control.
Summertime is just around the corner, which means country music’s hottest artists are gearing up for tour season to launch into overdrive. And there’s no exception for Toby Keith, who just announced his 2012 tour coming in June.
Hit songwriters never know when inspiration will strike for lyrics to a song, and that was exactly the case for Bobby Pinson when he started hashing out the new Toby Keith single, ‘Beers Ago.’
If you listen to country radio at all, and we know you do, you know to watch this video clip at your own risk. Toby Keith performed his can’t-ever-get-it-out-of-your-head catchy hit ‘Red Solo Cup’ today on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show,’ and the audience seemed to love the creative drinking anthem. Keith even cut the music right in the middle of the song to really play up the part where he proclaims that the cup is more like a friend to him than anything.
