People who think Toby Keith has outdone himself with this album are dead wrong. It’s not a bad CD, but it isn’t up to Keith-par.

The CD starts off with “I Love This Bar,” which will be, if it isn’t already, played in saloons across the country. In time, people will know every word to the tune and will love to sing it while having a few beers with their buddies.

“I Love This Bar” is by far the best song on the CD, and the last verse can only be heard on the CD – I’ve never heard the last verse on the radio.

Keith shows his love of alcohol in this album. The second song is titled “Whiskey Girl,” which isn’t half bad.

Keith is all about patriotism, and the third song on the CD portrays it. “American Soldier” is not one of my favorite songs on the disc; but after listening to it a few times, it’s hard not to enjoy it.

In the next song, titled “If I was Jesus,” Keith explains what he would do if he was Jesus. Go figure. It’s not a bad song, but it’s one a person might skip.

The next two songs “Time for me to Ride” and “Sweet” sound pretty similar. They’re really not worth listening to.

“Don’t Leave, I Think I Love You” is the next song, and it falls into the “skip it” category.

“Nights I Can’t Remember, Friends I Can’t Forget” is easy to listen and relate to. The title of the song explains exactly what it’s about. People may go out and have one too many beers causing a bit of memory loss. Even though those people may not remember exactly what happened, they will never forget who they shared the night with. Definitely listen to this song.

“Baddest Boots” may make a guy think of the time when he meets a girl with a great pair of … ummm … “eyes” and can’t stop staring at them. In this song, Keith says his boots are what all the ladies can’t take their eyes off. It’s a pretty decent song. Don’t skip this one.

“The Critic” is what I am, and that’s why I like this song. It sounds like one of those commercial jingles. Listen to it; it’s different and entertaining.

“The Taliban Song” is easy-going. In this song Keith hits that patriotism button again. “We’ll bid a fair adieu, and flip the finger to the Taliban,” is part of the refrain. Check it out. Don’t pass this song up.

The CD concludes with “Weed with Willie.” It’s another easy-going song, and it’s all about how Keith will never smoke marijuana with Willie again. I assume he’s talking about Willie Nelson.

A true country fan already owns this CD since it’s been out a while now; but if you don’t own it, it’s worth the $12.
