Free Music Notes for Big Dog Daddy
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.
Free Music Review: Sorry, but not that great...it was ok.
Hit: 3 Stars
I honestly think that Toby Keith, who once was country, is no longer even trying to be country....might not be his fault...a lot of todays country is more like toned down pop music...
There is nothing better than country music, and if this CD had country music on it, I might like it better...
only song I like is "Hate Me if You Want to, Love Me if You Can"---good song, which is why I rate this a 3.
Free Music Review: Toby has lost it
Hit: 2 Stars
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.
Free Music Review: Same old Warbulation...
Hit: 2 Stars
Toby can't really hit the notes so he warbles all over them. If you really need to listen to this it is best accompanied by heavy drinking. While better than most of the other stuff lately, TK is not much of a musician. In other times this stuff would have been filed in the "Novelty" section. Like great music? Look to Austin.
Just my opinion, I could be wrong. Not likely, but possible.

Free Music Review: Another album with a dumb title
Hit: 1 Stars
Another album with a dumb title after 'White Trash With Money': 'Big Dog Daddy'. Sounds 'very Country', doesn't it? It sounds more like a book for toddlers than a Country album. How can this guy be taken seriously?
I don't think he knows exactly what his fans want. His songs about bars, drinking, booze and women may appeal to people like him but they are not to the taste of everybody. If he thinks it is what all his fans want he is wrong. He doesn't know his audience. Some of his fans are not really interested in songs about Jack Daniels whiskey, a couple having sex in a pickup truck, a woman in a mini skirt ( what's next? A song about a woman in a bikini?) or his pro-war politics ( I don't get how this warmonger claims he 'prays for peace on earth every night' ). Same garbage. No originality. It seems that it is all he has to offer. Very disappointing. It is not hard to figure out why he has lost a lot of fans.
