Last updated: 23 hours ago

The familiar maxim of the triple threat – singer, songwriter, musician – doesn't begin to cover it for Toby Keith, one of the modern era's most complete self-directed hit makers. And his most recent years are a remarkably accurate representation of his entire career. In 2021, he was bestowed the National Medal of Arts, inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and honored with the Academy of Country Music's Merle Haggard Spirit Award. In October, he will release a new album, Peso In My Pocket, that led with the single “Old School” which debuted at the highest entrance of his career on Billboard’s airplay chart. In 2018, he celebrated the 25th anniversary of his debut #1 single, “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” with the re-release of his debut album. From the moment that song was released and shot up the charts, the engine driving everything has been the music. Toby has sold more than 40 million albums and has 32 #1 hit singles as well as more than 10 billion streams. He wrote a #1 hit every year for 20 straight years and, in 2015, was inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame in New York City. And there have been some unexpected highlights along the way, including country's most impactful viral event, "Red Solo Cup," the video for which has more than 60 million views and was ACM’s Video of the Year. In 2018, he released a new song, “Don’t Let The Old Man In,” which was inspired by a conversation he had with Clint Eastwood and featured in Eastwood’s movie, “The Mule.”
