Free Music Review: Not As Good As He Once Was (But As Good Once As He Ever Was)
Hit: 3 Stars
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.

When I listen to a new CD, there are 3 things I judge it by.
1. Does it make me wanna move? (Ya know...twist and shout!
2. Can I work out to it? (Not the same as making me move. Big difference.
3. Does it inspire me to write?
There are very few CD's out there that get a resounding YES to all 3 of the above criteria BUT....let me tell you: Big Dog Daddy [BDD] by Toby Keith gets a hearty resounding 'YES' to all 3 questions. This CD is so well put together and so well balanced in its ratio of ballads to rocking good songs! I played the CD while I worked out and it was AWESOME! It made my work out go so much faster. And, as I played it for the 4th time the other day, I was suddenly inspired to start a new novel. Thanks, in part to "She Hung the Moon", "Burnin' Moonlight" "Love Me If You Can" and "Walk It Off". And, of course, you can't help but want to dance to the CD...especially the song "Big Dog Daddy". [I understand that it is Carter's Chord singing harmony on this song. They are great!] I LOVE the part of the song when Toby is hollering and having fun. The only song I really don't care for is "Get My Drink On". I'm just not a proponent for drinking songs, but I do have to say that while I don't care for the lyrics the music is really energizing and just begs you to move to it- regardless if you are exercising or grooving. ;-)
I highly recommend this album even if you aren't a country music fan. It is just a great album all the way around.
Free Music Review: Very good

Well done, I love it. Big Dog Daddy is an infectious little diddy, can't get it out of my head. Free Music Review: terrible music
Hit: 1 Stars
I don't know what is wrong with people, this guy is terrible. How he sells albums is a mystery to me, must be Nascar fans who don't know any better. If you spent money on this album I fell sorry for you.
