TOBY KEITH FIGHTS BACK WITH ALBUM TITLE
True
to his Outlaw nature, Toby Keith took a stranger’s insult and turned it into what will surely be a
multi-platinum album title. In the latest issue of Country Weekly—on stands today—Toby says the title
of White Trash With Money came from a woman who used that term disparagingly when referring to his daughter, Krystal. “I’ve
always been able to take adversity and turn it into gold,” Toby tells Country Weekly. “So...I took the
‘white trash’ comment as a sign that I was supposed to use it. There’s no song on the album named that or
no lyric like it on the album.”
Toby's newest single, don't forget to request
it at your local radio station.
Toby Keith's first album for his own record label will be titled White
Trash With Money. "Get Drunk and Be Somebody," an anthem that serves as the project's initial single, will be delivered
to country radio stations on Tuesday (Dec. 13).Keith launched
his record company, Show Dog Nashville, in September following stints on the Polydor, Mercury and DreamWorks labels.White
Trash With Money will be released in spring 2006. His Big Throwdown tour kicks off Jan. 20 in Portland, Ore. Toby Keith has set an April 11 release date for White Trash With Money,
the first album on his Show Dog Nashville record label. The
album includes 12 songs written or co-written by Keith and three bonus songs he usually only performs for friends aboard his
tour bus."It's an honest effort and I'm real proud of it,"
Keith says of the album. "As long as I can continue making music the way I do, I couldn't be happier.I've accomplished everything else." In related news, his album Greatest Hits
2 was certified triple platinum this week for shipments of 3 million copies.
