This cd is worth it for the song "I know she hung the moon." I always like one song on his cd more than the big hits. This one should be a hit. Almost any female would love her man to be so confident in their relationship to approach one of her spectators like this. I want give away the hook, but that's great too :-)

Not As Good As He Once Was (But As Good Once As He Ever Was)

"Let me say this right off the bat: I'm a Toby Keith fan. If I say that up front, you'll know I have no agenda (like several others) when I review this album.



It's not his best work.



It has its moments. The first single, "High Maintenence Woman" is a strong track, and there are a few others. "Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya" is a nice addition to his catalog, and I'm sure it will be a single. "I Know She Hung the Moon" is a great ballad that describes not only loving a woman, but being proud of her. I also like "Love Me If You Can" from a lyrical standpoint because it does such a good job of responding to Keith's left-wing critics who actually know very little about him (and it shows). It's a bit bland from a musical perspective, however.



Now that I've pointed out the strong points, on to the CD's weaker moments: I feel that a lot of the other tracks are generic and predictable, and well....a little uninspired. "Get My Drink On" and "Hit It" are your typical kind of barroom whoop-it-ups, and Keith gives us his version of rockabilly for the title track, "Big Dog Daddy." As Keith himself admits, the song was inspired by a promotional event for the new Ford pickup truck. That puts me off a little, especially when the CD booklet contains an obvious paid picture advertisement of Keith with the truck itself. Even without that bit of commercialism, the song is nothing to write home about. Other songs like "White Rose" sound like flat-out filler.



Overall, this CD leaves me a little disappointed. I liked White Trash with Money and Honky Tonk U much better. Maybe the problem is with me and my high expectations. The fact that Keith's previous work led me there is high praise for his talent. I'll give this a few more listens, but I'll probably play his old CDs more often. He probably should have waited until he had some stronger material before he entered the studio this time around."

Toby has lost it

"I own every Toby Keith CD so buying this one was a no-brainer. Not only does the CD lack fun songs, but they're not catchy either. I could barely even listen to the whole thing. This CD is nowhere near the quality that How do you like me now?!, Pull my chain, Unleashed, and Shockin' Ya'll. Honkytonk U was just ok, and White trash with money had some fun songs like get drunk and be somebody, and running block.



This CD is not Toby Keith quality stuff. Borrow it from a friend to listen to it before you buy it."
