 Shockin' ....but He Gets Away with it. Nov 05, 2003
By Colleen
"big reader"
I would wager that you will either really love this album or really hate it. The promotional idea of playing it on the radio the day before it hit the stores was a stroke of genius. It had me going straight from work the next day to buy it. I already knew I liked the songs so when I loaded it in my PC and found approximately 15 minutes of video, I was doubly pleased. The songs are definitely unique so if you weren't privy to the preview, listen with an open mind. We all know "I love this Bar" so it doesn't need an introduction but the others..... "Taliban" gave me a different prospective on the War. An "American Soldier" pays tribute to our fighting men as only a song can do. "If I was Jesus" has to speak for it's self. How he mixed blasphemy with heavenly praise and got away with it is beyond me but the God fearing woman in me was not offended. No Toby Keith CD is complete without at least one or two that make you want to crank up the volume and put the pedal to the medal. Those would be "Time for me to Ride" and "Sweet". The Willie Song tops it off with a laugh. In my opinion, there is something for everyone, except maybe a Dixie Chick fan. My summary would be "This is Toby Keith Bone Deep" and I am definitely on the "loved it" side of the fence.

Score another hit CD for Toby!! Nov 11, 2003
By Angela Gallo
Toby Keith, once again, shows off his wit and his wonderful songwriting ability to say nothing of his incredible vocal talent. The compilation of songs seems to fit Toby's rowdy, fun loving side and the addition of the bus songs is strictly for the fans. This is a great CD to add to your Toby collection or a wonderful start on the journey to Toby Keith appreciation.

TOBY'S TURN TO HAVE FUN Nov 08, 2003
By Gary M. Russell
Anybody that listens to a Toby Keith CD once and writes a review about it is a FOOL. A true TK fan knows that you have to allow the music to breathe like a fine wine to get the flavor out of it. This CD is no different. Keep in mind that Toby is a singer-songwriter, and that 95% of his songs are his own. The man is no songwriters whore like some of the artists out there today. And the man is true to the country roots of the music he writes. OK, so The Critic is a jazzy piece, but thats the point, why waste a good country song on a group of people that wouldn't know one when they heard one. One reviewer criticized his soldier songs, but myself being the son of a decorated WWII soldier, and hearing the stories, I can tell you, we can never do enough for our Armed Forces. Toby is a Proud American, the rest of you need to get with the program. Toby chose this album to write songs he feels good about. Granted it's more of a guy's album than what the ladies are used to hearing, but you always know how Toby feels about a subject by the music he writes. The Taliban and Weed with Willie had me laughing in the car so much I almost crashed. It was sad that Toby didn't win any CMA awards, but it was obvious another fine country gentleman by the name of Alan Jackson gave Toby the credit he deserves. Keep em coming Toby.

Strong Title Nov 05, 2003
By J. T. Martin
If you're a Toby Keith fan, you'll like this record. No, it's not classic country. He says it best himself in the enhanced CD, "This is the CD that mainstream artists wouldn't put out." He doesn't care what people think about him, his political views, his crude language, ect. To me, that makes him even better. I'd recommend going out and buying the CD if you enjoy a good time.

The best yet! Nov 05, 2003
By A. Buhaug
If you haven't boarded the Toby Keith bandwagon, this is a good time to join up. Shock'N Y'all is full of the controversially funny lyrics that makes Toby country music's top bad boy. But there's also the patriotic side that comes out in American Soldier, which is the best cut on the whole album in my opinion. If you aren't proud to be an American after hearing that song, you haven't been paying attention. Definitely buy this cd!
