Shockn YAll by Toby Keith
Uso Tour Trooper
A former oil field worker, Toby Keith has always known how to capture the
passions of blue-collar men and women, desperate to blow off steam at
the end of the day. As such, he’s stocked his latest album with themes
designed to push all the right emotional buttons--patriotism, Jesus, buddy
love, fast women, and reality altering substances. I Love This Bar, the first
single, offers a kinder, gentler Keith than the boot-shoving redneck of
Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American). But as he
segues to American Soldier, a song so gung-ho and puffed up that it could
be a musical recruitment poster, you know he’s gearing up for a scud
missile of a payoff. Sure enough. By the time he gets to The Taliban Song,
a comedic and cartoonish skewering of The Enemy, recorded in concert,
it’s hard to remember that he once wrote well-crafted ballads of romantic
infatuation. Now it’s all grandstanding, baby, even the best-written song, a
jazzy, talking blues which fillets his critics. If he’s not exactly Shock’n Y’All
as the title suggests, he’s certainly putting his Baddest Boots forward. --

This is the first Toby Keith album I bought and it made me a fan. Now I
buy all his work and am never disappointed. The songs on this album
catch you from the start and the more you hear them, the more you fall in
love with them. They are all well written and performed to perfection. If
you like music, especially country music, you will love this album. Since I
like this album so much, I was curious about its average aggregrate rating.
So I investigated. Most of the ratings are either 5 star or 1 star, love it or
hate it. The 5 star ratings rate the music, the 1 star ratings rate the politics.
If you dont like his message dont buy the album but dont denigrate a
stellar musical composition based on your unpatriotic views. I am sure
Toby wont miss you.
