Music Review: Toby Keith — 35 Greatest Hits (Disc 1)
Published May 06, 2008
"If I send you roses for no reason at all ..." That's it. I am marrying whoever wrote this song, "Me Too." I think this song really highlights Toby's great voice. Ok, I am so in love with this song. I think this is really a girls song. This is one of those songs that guys just roll their eyes at. Toby Keith's romanticism is making them look bad.
"We Were In Love" is also very slow. With a nostalgic tone, Toby really hits the nail on the coffin with this song.
Toby does a duet with Sting in "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying." If you like Sting, you'll like the song. If you don't like Sting, you won't like the song. If you don't care about Sting, you won't care about the song. Are you catching the pattern? It depends on your opinion of Sting. Simple as that. Next.
"Dream Walkin'" is fun. It's not too fast (Well, for me, there's no such thing) and it's not too slow. There's not much else to say about this song, but it is in my top 5.
After that, it's "Getcha Some." At first, I didn't like it. Toby was half-talking, half-singing like country rap. Ick. I do like the chorus, but then it goes back to country rap. Country and rap is a bad combo. Rap combined with anything is bad.
This was the first time I heard "How Do You Like Me Now?!" and I was immediately drawn in by the the funny and captivating music at the beginning. It's pretty cool since it's all about Toby Keith's fame and asking a girl what she thinks of him now. As a junior in high school, I always wonder what all my fellow classmates — most of whom hate me — will think on me when I come waltzing in during my 25 year reunion.
Track 17 is entitled "Country Comes to Town." I just knew by the title I would like this song. Fast paced, this is true country rock that Toby Keith should be famous for! I love it! I love it! I love it! Definitely one of my favorite Toby Keith songs.
The last track on disc one is "You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This." This is another slow song, which means it's not really my favorite. I was pleased to find that the song picks up in the chorus and I really do enjoy the chorus. It makes the song a lot better.
These are the first 18 Toby Keith greatest hits. I'm quite sure the next one will be good too and, together, it should be a good buy.
