Who Would Toby Keith Trade Places With?

YH catches up with country music superstar Toby Keith at the American Country Countdown Awards, where he tells us what he's counting down to in his own life and why he can't wait for Halloween! Plus he reveals whom he'd love to trade places with for a day, and he shares his last memory of country legend Merle Haggard.

I was late to the party but getting to know his music and his personality I love him just as much as the other musicians who have impacted me in a positive way. Prayers to his family, friends and everyone else who love him. Just a great guy.

[@janetphillips2875]

Who's gonna fill his shoes? No one up and coming I can think of. Toby was one of a kind! Anthony Oliver has a fantastic old-school sound, and is a fantastic lyricist! He has his own " backwoods comfort country" look, too!

[@thomastakesportspodcast]

nobody will ever fill his shoes. he was 1/1 true original!

[@bf4744]

Amen​@@thomastakesportspodcast

One of the best if not the best. ❤

I made a comment 6 months ago and now I'm back again January of 2024... Toby Keith has such a standard of honoring others... A heart of gold is the way I would refer to it. Being a friend rising to the occasion... Being supportive of each other through thick and thin, Never competing always encouraging and being there for each other... A big old country family of musicians 🙏❤ Remember in Merle Haggard

[@ermears7414]

Anything that has Toby Keith in it, IMMA IN!

You know, I agree that Chuck Cannon is one mighty fine songwriter, but, one thing is for sure, he did not write my song "How Do You Like Me Now" I wrote the song in 1978 and gave it to Toby Keith in a bar in Victorville, California back in 1993 when Toby had just completed recording with Mercury Records his Should've Been A Cowboy album. I played the song for Toby on his own guitar while the band was on break and waited till after the next set and break at Toby's request to play it for him again so I did and I wrote the lyrics on a bar napkin and told Toby it should have a sort of Doobie Brothers Listen to the Music sort of arrangement which I am sure that Chuck probably supplied that arrangement and licks. It is my opinion that Toby Keith probably brought my song "How Do You Like Me Now" to Chuck to help Toby get the song ready for recording and so the two of them polished up my song and Toby never told Chuck the actual origin of the song. I am in no way trying to defame Chuck, I believe in the beginning he was innocent especially since he was once the president of the NSAI which I am a former member, the Nashville Songwriters Association is a multi purpose org and one of it's missions is to help songwriters protect their songs, right Chuck. I did not have copyright protection on my song when I gave it to Toby Keith that night so Toby slapped his own copyright on it but that still does not set aside the truth and the fact that I wrote the original song "How Do You Like Me Now" I have contacted Toby's label and they shine me on knowing I don't have that copyright. You know, integrity is one thing that is set aside by some in the music business and there are a few who think honesty doesn't mean anything once you pockets are full enough to walk all over those little people who are actually the real creators of a lot of the material we all listen to today. So folks, stay tuned, I am going totally public as I can with this, magazines, writing a book, maybe a movie script and I hope and pray that none of you songwriters out there ever get dupped like this, remember, always copyright, just go to the Library of Congress site on the internet for details in case you don't know how to copyright. Oh yea, just in case anyone wants to go to court over this, I'd love to get Toby's word under oath that he wrote my song, then we can see just how that goes. Peace, CBW

[@thymetrees]

I feel for you! Truth is truth, no matter what! I write songs too but would always give credit where it's due! You helped Toby shine.. maybe he can do the same for you. One day...

[@dogmom7698]

You’re a one hit wonder, but never got paid. Next time don’t give your songs away.

Good it's not my music

[@almapennington9063]

Nobody

[@dennislaux]

Oh....I get it ....this is the smiling, happy Keith and not the vulgar, angry, F-bomb dropper, S word and every other no class uneducated word you can think of in the other clips I saw. I watch no more of them and buy nothing of his. We live in a society that increasingly has no class, no breeding and no character while so many people that are lucky beyond belief are angry and can't conduct themselves like gentlemen. AND NO...Clint Eastwood would be embarrassed to hear him and never would act like "toby nobody" does.

[@Suzisueful]

Wow man. He was HUMAN, & though he could be off handed and dry/ sarcastic humor it was a lot of the reason he was so adored. Incredible Patriot, family man, advocate for children suffering cancer. Supported their families and SO much more. Don't comment on people you clearly know nothing about. He & Clint were buddies, even wrote a song for Clint, which he LOVED so much he wanted it in his film. Toby was a respected respectful, kind, beautiful, cherished soul who will always be remembered & missed. Godspeed Toby. ❤
