Toby Keith has all the right credentials for a country star; born in Oklahoma, he was raised on a farm, and worked for a rodeo as a young man. In 1993, Keith became a success straight out of the gate with his self-titled debut album. From there on, the hits never stopped coming. In the wake of 9/11, Keith's profile was raised even further for his controversial, jingoistic 2002 anthem "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue (The Angry American)" and his public feud with the left-leaning Dixie Chicks.
