CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Toby Keith has never been shy, but on Unleashed the Oklahoman proves he has more in common with Charlie Daniels and Hank Williams Jr. than you might have thought. The headline-making hit single "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American)" will either impress you as a piece of jingoistic hooey or rally your fighting blood with its images ("the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist") of patriotic retaliation. The "eye for an eye" mood continues on "Beer for My Horses," a frontier-justice saga on which Willie Nelson duets. But after that, things start falling into the usual formula: a killer pop ballad ("Rock You Baby"), some smart-ass sexual grandstanding ("Who's Your Daddy"), and a few midtempo ruminations on life and love that catch the ear but ultimately prove forgettable. By the time he gets to "It Works for Me," in which Keith celebrates the virtues of country living ("If it's so good in the city / Why don't anybody smile?"), you'll swear it's a Bocephus CD in your player. Oh, you rowdy boys! --Alanna Nash Similar CDsSimilarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsYes yes yes yes yes! DanD | 07/23/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "As you can tell, I am happy with the release of Toby Keith's newest (and possibly best) CD. It comes less than a year after "Pull My Chain", but do not let the suddeness of it fool you: this CD is worth every penny you put into it, and more.Keith, as always, makes sure he covers a wide range of tempos and melodies. Love ballads--"Losing My Touch", "Rock You Baby", "That's Not How It Is", "Rodeo Moon" (sort of)--are mixed in with easy-rollers like "It's All Good", "Huckleberry", and "Ain't It Just Like You". Thrown into the mix are some rockers "The Angry American", "Who's Your Daddy?", "Good To Go To Mexico", and "Beer For My Horses".The topics are equally diversified. "The Angry American," as if you haven't heard it, is about the anger and hatred we felt on 9-11..captured by a man that felt the same way. "Good To Go To Mexico" is about that vacation we all need in our lives. "Beer For My Horses", a duet with the one and only Willie Nelson, is about obtaining justice when justice is necessary. "Huckleberry" is a song about the beauty of puppy love, and "Rodeo Moon" (co-written by Chris LeDoux) covers the life of a traveling rodeo star and his wife. The album ends with an introduction of "The Angry American", and an explanation of why Keith wrote it.Toby Keith's songwriting skills abound here, as he wrote or co-wrote all twelve of the tunes (not counting the final track). All his wit, anger, love, fear, and anxieties are transfered to your ears through his music. Those headphones can carry a lot, can't they?Alright, alright, I'll end this. Here is the point: This is THE album of the summer of 2002! This is THE album if you are a Toby Keith fan! This is THE album if you are a country music fan! If you do not like country music, then do not buy this album, because country music is what you'll be getting; country music Toby-style!Beware: Toby Keith has been unleashed...and the big dog's on the prowl." Toby's Best! Deanna | Maryland | 07/31/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "On "Unleashed," Toby Keith's second album since August 2001, he shows both his abundance of attitude and his romantic side. Also, considering the fact that he wrote/co-wrote every song on the album, he shows his diversity as a writer and a singer who never fails when it comes to delivering good music.Some of the outstanding tracks on this album are "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue" (a controversial song about Toby's feelings on September 11th.), "Good To Go To Mexico" (a very fun, laid-back song, with a Spanish feel to it), "It's All Good (an excellent song about keeping things normal and letting troubles pass you by, even though the world has changed), "Beer For My Horses" (a rollicking song about victory and Willie Nelson's voice sounds terrific with Toby's), "Huckleberry" (a sweet song about first love), "Rock You Baby" and "Ain't It Just Like You" (two fantastic ballads). Then, at the end of the album, there's a live introduction of "Courtesy Of the Red, White and Blue" by Toby, in which he says why he wrote the song."Unleashed" is definitely Toby Keith's finest album. Highly recommended to all country music fans!"
