Toby Keith’s 10 Best Songs: Critic’s Picks


Remembering the country icon.

Toby Keith came out from nowhere to become one of the major success stories of country music in 1993 with his debut single “Should’ve Been A Cowboy.” The singer rode in from Oklahoma armed with some of the strongest material that Nashville had seen in quite some time. It’s worth noting that three of the songs on this list appear on his 1993 debut disc for Mercury, proving that the Oklahoma native came to town ready for the big time – as both a singer and a tunesmith. 1 hit, Keith crafted a lyric that paid tribute to Matt Dillon of Gunsmoke, as well as Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.
