A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Toby Keith

  • Ethan Miller

Toby Keith became a superstar with his jingoistic post-9/11 hit “Courtesy Of The Red, White, And Blue (The Angry American)” and then Shock’n Y’all, a 2003 album full of raucous and refined country music. When not acting as the cartoonish voice of overzealous flag-wavers everywhere, Keith is a becomingly naturalistic singer with a dry, unaffected voice that soaks into hooks he dangles with impressive ease. On 2007's Big Dog Daddy, he sang about gasoline, drinking, and women, among other things all red-blooded Americans care about. The trend continues on this year's American Ride.
