The Life And Times Of Toby Keith
Toby Keith with Gutiar
Toby Keith Covel (born July 8, 1961), best known as Toby Keith, is an American country music
singer-songwriter, record producer and actor. Keith released his first four studio albums—1993 ′s
Toby Keith, 1994′s Boom-town, 1996′s Blue Moon and 1997 ′s Dream Walk-in’, plus a Greatest
Hits package for various divisions of Mercury Records before leaving Mercury in 1998. These
albums all earned gold or higher certification, and produced several chart singles, including his
debut “Should’ve Been a Cowboy”, which topped the country charts and was the most played
country song of the 1990s. The song has received three million spins since its release, according
to Broadcast Music Incorporated
Toby Keith Found The Easy Money By Playing In The Honky Tonks
He fell back on his football training and played defensive end with the semi-pro Oklahoma City
Drillers while continuing to perform with his band. After two years with the Drillers, Keith
decided to try music full time. His family and friends were doubtful he would succeed, but in
1984, “Easy Money” began playing the honky tonk circuit in Oklahoma and Texas. The band cut
a single titled “Blue Moon” and the song received some airplay on local radio stations in
Oklahoma.

2. Entertainment Career Toby Keith with Guitar In 1993,
Keith went to Nashville, Tennessee. He distributed copies of a demo tape the band had made to
the many record companies in the city but there was no interest by any of the record labels.
Keith had promised himself to have a recording contract by the time he was 30 years old or give
up on music as his career. He was approaching that age without any prospects for a recording
contract. Fortunately for Keith, a fan of his, who was a flight attendant, gave a copy of Keith’s
demo tape to Harold Shedd, a Mercury Records executive, while he was traveling on a flight she
was working.
Shedd liked what he heard, went to see Keith perform live and then signed him to a recording
contract with Mercury. His debut single, “Should’ve Been a Cowboy”, went to number one on
the billboard country singles chart. Keith moved briefly to Plodder Records and released his next
two albums “Boom-town” in 1994, and “Blue Moon” in 1996, the albums went gold and
platinum respectively. Plodder folded and Keith moved back to Mercury Records, now called
Mercury Nashville, and released his fourth album, “Dream Walk-in” in 1997. He began work on
his next album “How Do You Like Me Now” in 1999, at Mercury but purchased the rights to the
album and moved to Dream Works Nashville because of creative differences with Mercury. The
title song “How Do You Like Me Now” was a number one single for five weeks and the album
went double platinum.
