Since Toby Keith's commercial success and canny image manipulation show how shrewd he is, perhaps the best explanation for songs as lackluster as "Note to Self" (a generic Rolling Stones arrangement with a hokey lyric) and "Runnin' Block" (about bedding an unattractive woman for the benefit of a buddy) are either laziness or pandering. On White Trash with Money, his first release on his own Show Dog imprint (and without longtime producer James Stroud), Keith occasionally appears to be stretching himself--on the string-laden balladry of "A Little Too Late," the tender "Crash Here Tonight," and perhaps his finest vocal performance to date on "Too Far This Time"--but often seems to be coasting. "Get Drunk and Be Somebody," "Grain of Salt," and "Brand-New Bow" are never less (and little more) than dumb fun, while "Can't Buy You Money" is a clever twist on the "money can't buy you love" adage. The most contentious track here, "Ain't No Right Way," is just waving a red flag at those who refuse to reduce complex issues to simple black-and-white. Keith insists that he only writes as many songs as he needs to record; this time, some quality control might have required writing a few more. --Don McLeese

 Ugh December 14, 2008

I am absolutely furious with the song "Runnin' Block". I used to think Toby Keith had at least a small amount of class, but apperantly not.
Also, none of his songs lately give me that excited, great mood of "Oh my gosh! I love this song! Turn it up!" like his "Beer for my Horses", "How Do You Like Me Now?", or "I Wanna Talk About Me". His music has become so-so. "Crash Here Tonight" is the only song I actually enjoy on this CD, mostly just because I relate to the lyrics well and that makes me like it.
I'm very disappointed with Toby Keith's music these days.

Trash. It is exactly the right title for this album.
The title ' Get Drunk and Be Somebody' doesn't make any sense. When you are drunk you are a nobody. I don't get how a drunk can be somebody. If I were a fat woman I would be offended by the song called 'Running Block'. It is a stupid song. You hear him chuckle after calling the fat lady in the song a 'jellyroll'. Is that funny? There is no humour in this song. Making fun of fat women and degrading them. How much worse can it get? Is that Country music? I am surprised his label released his album because the guy can't be taken seriously. He has no talent. His music sucks. I wouldn't even give it one star. It seems to me that quality and talent are not important because you can produce a crappy album and call it 'Country' and convince labels to release it.
I noticed he is releasing an album every year and even released 2 albums in the same year. Does he need an album every six months? No wonder he cannot make a decent album.

With all due respect to rabid Keith fans, this album proves what a simple-minded lush Toby Keith really is, and he needs a LOT of help to sound good. There's a common theme to his last four albums. If he's not complaining about the Taliban, he's singing some power ballad about getting drunk. After rocking us with a few songs from "Unleashed," "Big Dog Daddy," and "Shock'n Yall," this is what we get? What a waste. The most earworthy song on this album: "Get Drunk and be Somebody?" Please. The title says it all. Maybe he's past his prime.

I was a huge fan of Toby Keith; before this album came out. I can accept the constant reference to an artist's idea of a perfect woman. But "Runnin Block" was downright dissappointing. If that's how Toby feels about imperfect women; I just can't enjoy his songs without thinking how shallow and insensitive he is.
