 (4 Customer Reviews)
BIG DOG DADDY is the first album that Toby Keith wrote and produced on his own, and it features a harder edge than most of his previous records, closer to the country-rock of the Big and Rich axis than the neo-traditionalist crowd. In fact, BIG DOG DADDY seems like a sort of mid-career reset, a canny move for a country singer who sees musical trends changing on the horizon. Social trends as well: one song, "Love Me If You Can," obliquely addresses the uproar over Keith's political statements concerning the global war on terror; in the album's press materials, Keith is careful to claim allegiance to neither political party and asserts that he is in fact opposed to the Iraq war. Elsewhere, Keith wisely drops political matters entirely in favor of less incendiary country-rock topics like drinking, fighting, and women. The romantic "I Know She Hung the Moon" and the wry "High Maintenance Woman" are the album's musical and emotional poles, with hell-raising stompers like "Get My Drink On" and "Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya" sitting comfortably in the middle.

Toby Keith Big Dog Daddy Songs Big Dog Daddy Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   The Best to date
For years I didn't care much for Toby Kieth. This CD totally changed my thinking. He's keeping Country Rock alive and steering clear of "Broadway Country". He also does a great job on the ballad tunes--lots of versatility. The album has created a new fan. Thank you, Toby.

Not only is Toby a good singer, he is also a fantastic song writer. I particularly like LOVE ME IF YOU CAN, its a five star. This CD is a good collection of Toby songs.

The "REAL" Toby is Back!
I've been a toby keith fan since his early years when BOOMTOWN was released. I've seen him twice in concert and just loved him. He sang with heart felt emotion and showed his soft side and then he knew how to drive it home with his testosterone driven songs. I have all his albums, but I was disappointed with his last album "WHITE TRASH WITH MONEY" and the album before that. I didnt like all the songs from start to finish, and I felt he was just putting an album out.
I was skiddish about getting "Big DOG DADDY" but I am DELIGHTED I purchased it. I didn't buy for "HIGH MAINTIENANCE WOMAN" I just bought it because it is Toby Keith. I listened from start to finish, and he has returned to what made him so "special" with BOOMTOWN and DREAM WALKIN'
"WHITE ROSE" "SHE HUBG THE MOON" "BURNIN' MOONLIGHT" and "WALK IT OFF" are great heart and passionate songs on this album. There are other songs like "HIT IT" and "PUMP JACK" "GET MY DRINK ON" they are the "Real" toby Keith that made him special. So, while some people say he is better than ever he IS.....but there was a little "bumpy" spot for artistically I feel. BUT GO BUY THIS ALBUM!!!!

Purchase Big Dog Daddy CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Toby Keith Honkytonk University CD (2005)
Big Dog Daddy
 $12.39 
After Toby Keith achieved household-name status with two chart-topping albums full of defiant songs and right-wing politics, listeners may have expected more of the same. With 2005's HONKYTONK UNIVERSITY, however, Keith matches his outlaw aspirations to a set of tunes that remind his audience that he is a country singer first and a media icon second.
The opening "Honkytonk U" is an autobiographical tune that sounds like an outtake from Waylon Jennings's HONKY TONK HEROES, complete with phase-shifted guitar and a four-in-the-morning vocal delivery. Many of the other tunes here have a 1970s vibe as well, but with a poppier slant; the smooth melody of "Knock Yourself Out" recalls Ronnie Milsap, while the breezy feel of "Big Blue Note" wouldn't sound ...
| | Brad Paisley Time Well Wasted CD (2005)
Big Dog Daddy
$9.85 
Brad Paisley's music is an interesting amalgam of country sub-genres, a paradigm all its own. He melds straightforward, pop-friendly New Country with clever, somewhat Lyle Lovett-like songwriting and the occasional flutter of Joe Maphis/Jimmy Bryant-style guitar virtuosity. Surprisingly or not, this country combo platter made Paisley a star, and TIME WELL WASTED continues in the aforementioned vein. ...
| | Toby Keith White Trash With Money CD (2006)
Big Dog Daddy
$15.99 
Less than a year after releasing 2005's HONKYTONK UNIVERSITY, country superstar Toby Keith unveiled another full-length studio outing. On WHITE TRASH WITH MONEY, the Oklahoma native draws from earlier phases of his career, while also heading into less-familiar musical territory. Keith slips into crooner mode (a la 1996's gentle BLUE MOON) on the pleading "Crash Here Tonight," and while he gets political on "Ain't No Right Way," the song, ultimately, proves to be a wistful ballad. "Get Drunk ...
