Toby Keith had so many great songs so whether you need to hear something heartfelt, patriotic, romantic, sad, melancholy, inspiring, thoughtful, or just plain funny, yeah especially funny, then Toby’s got what you need. My favorite songs by Toby Keith are Who’s That Man; Wish I Didn’t Know Now; You Shouldn’t Kiss Me Like That; He Ain’t Worth Missing; We Were In Love; Upstairs Downtown; Don't Let the Old Man In; How Do You Like Me Now; Made in America; I Wanna Talk About Me; American Soldier; Trailerhood; A Little Too Late; A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action; and of course Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue. RIP Toby, we miss you!

Highly recommend "Don't Let the Old Man In" at the 2023 People's Choice Awards. He wrote it 6 or so years ago after Clint Eastwood inspired him in a conversation by replying, "Don't let the old man in." To make the long story short.

His song 'It's A Little Too Late' has a great video and "Don't Kiss Me Like This' is another where you get to really hear what he could do. He had a great sense of humor. May he R.I.P. A few years after graduation, I saw a guy who used to make fun of me. He tried to strike up a conversation, but I acted like I was in a rush. And I was. To get away from him. A few days later, a family member said they had talked to him, and he was asking about me, if I was single and I laughed because no chance in hell. Another guy I had a major crush on turned me down (he was nice about it, but it still hurt) and he is currently doing 15 to 20 for drug related charges so yeah, I am grateful now I didn't get mixed up with him.

Huge fan of Toby Keith’s style. This song was a great one. But for me personally, his best will always be “Who’s That Man?” Where “How Do You Like Me Now?” is about everything going right. “…Man” is about reflecting on when it goes wrong. I like to play them one after the other on my playlist. Toby, Tim, George, and Garth…. The country guys that will forever have my heart because their music shaped me. Especially Garth and Toby. Rest In Peace to another Country Legend gone far too soon.
