Cannot believe anyone that has been to Texas hasn’t heard of Toby Keith...He writes and sings some of the best songs ever....have 5 CD’s of his. Never put out a bad song...
I knew about Toby Keith but had not heard the song, what little I know of country is mostly from the old crowd of Marty Robbins, Hank Williams, Haggard, Hall, Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Mickey Gilly the 1970s outlaw types and the 1940s and 1950s types.
By the time I discovered country and wanted to listen to it on the radio it had already abandoned many of the elements that I like which turned out to be the old school stuff.
I also get into some of the old folk classics of past centuries, my jaw dropped the first time I heard “Knoxville girl” from the 1800s. Here is the Louvin Brothers singing it in 1956.
