Toby Keith, one of my personal favorite country singers from the 90s, passed peacefully last night on Feb. 5, surrounded by his family. Keith has affected our country music community with his musical talent and this is a very big loss for the whole musical industry.
Toby Keith spent the last six months recovering from his battle with cancer and trying to get back to preforming and making music. During this time, he took songs from his past and re-recorded them. This album is called the “100% Songwriter.” Toby Keith was the artist who got me listening to 90s country and this style of music.
Keith has had 20 number one hits with us first being “Shoulda Been a Cowboy” in 1993 while being a part of the Mercury Records. In memory of Toby Keith, here is a list of my top five favorite songs. They are all linked to Spotify!
