Editorial Reviews :
Toby Keith has never been shy, but on Unleashed the Oklahoman proves he has more in common with Charlie Daniels and Hank Williams Jr. than you might have thought. The headline-making hit single 'Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American)' will either impress you as a piece of jingoistic hooey or rally your fighting blood with its images ('the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist') of patriotic retaliation. The 'eye for an eye' mood continues on 'Beer for My Horses,' a frontier-justice saga on which Willie Nelson duets. But after that, things start falling into the usual formula: a killer pop ballad ('Rock You Baby'), some smart-ass sexual grandstanding ('Who's Your Daddy'), and a few midtempo ruminations on life and love that catch the ear but ultimately prove forgettable. By the time he gets to 'It Works for Me,' in which Keith celebrates the virtues of country living ('If it's so good in the city / Why don't anybody smile?'), you'll swear it's a Bocephus CD in your player. Oh, you rowdy boys!
Buyer Reviews :
I am writing this from the opinion of a Marine family. We fight for this country because of some very deep truths about it, including tolerance and diversity, meanwhile Mr. Keith undermines those virtues with a blantantly racist song. This is no more a celebration of American values than it is a true gauge of the pulse of America (as some reviewers have suggested). Human beings are suffering both here (as a result of 9/11) and there (as a result of tribal violence and extremist rule)...therefore no one should be pumping their fist at sick sentiments such as 'we lite up your country like the 4th of July'...America should be celebrated for it's democratic idea of freedom and tolerance...not this...
