Still talking about you Toby Keith.

March 16th 2009 11:18
Chris Gray of the Houston Press posted a colorful review of Toby Keith's set at Rodeo Houston last week...here are some of the highlights:


"But OMG, Keith probably couldn't pass the audition for your average high school senior musical. Tuesday night at the rodeo, his voice - which has almost no range to start with - was consistently flat, with wrong notes littered across songs like "I Wanna Talk About Me" and recent country No. 1 "She Never Cried In Front of Me" like beer cans on the floor of his extended-cab F-150 after a weekend at the lake."

"Keith's stage presence is almost zilch. Basically he just stood there, hat pulled low over his eyes, strumming his guitar or hunched over the microphone like he hadn't eaten in a week and it was one of those giant rodeo turkey legs."

Music critics are often criticized for being either too harsh or too soft. In response to the above (and a few other beauties including reviews of Rascal Flatts, Alan Jackson and Lady Antebellum, Craig Shelburne over at CMT Blog added: "You know, I certainly haven’t liked all the concerts I’ve written about either. In my opinion, some of them were truly awful. When that happens, I just mostly describe what happened, rather than taking cheap shots at the artist"


Therefore it can be ascertained that either the truth hurts of we are simply witnessing cruel jabs. Either way, I am genuinely appreciative of Chris Gray literary skills for managing to credibly use the words "turkey legs" and "Toby Keith" in the same sentence.
